About ASYFC:

Ayer-Shirley Youth Football and Cheer was established in 2005 for the purpose of educating

young athletes in sport of football and cheer, meanwhile instructing the ideals of good

sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage, scholarship and reverence, so that they may be

finer, stronger and happier youth who will grow to be responsible, healthy adults.  

Our orsganization is run entirely by volunteers. All the members of the Board of Directors are

volunteers, and are not compensated for the hundreds of hours they work throughout the

year to keep this program going. All our coaches and seasonal staff are also volunteers who

put in many hours on and off the practice fields each season.

The program is funded through registration fees, game admission fees, sponsors, and

fundraisers. All funds are put back into the program to pay expenses and make

improvements. Some of the expenses we incur each year include: repair and/or replacement

of equipment and uniforms, field usage fees, insurance, membership dues, background

checks for staff, merchandise for resale, referees, end-of-year participant trophies, and other

miscellaneous administrative expenses.
