| NHYFSC Position on 2020 Season In today's social media world information can often be misstated, misunderstood, and inaccurate.
The NHYFSC and its member associations have been discussing the pandemic and its effect on the sports of cheer and football since March. The conference early on stated its intent to have a season for 2020, it of course would be within the recommendations and rules as outlined by local and national authority. It has been a difficult and challenging course as there is not a clear path.
The governor of NH has been working with a task force to reopen NH, one area is youth sports. On June 22nd, the governor cleared all youth sports the ability to take the field with certain restrictions still in place such as social distancing. This information may be found at NH.Gov.
During our ongoing discussions with our member associations, the conference has clearly stated while the plan is to have a 2020 season, we might not be able to if there are expectations that cannot be met. However, at present the plan is to still have a 2020 season.
During the ongoing discussions, the conference has clearly stated each association will make its own determination if they will participate in the 2020 season. The conference clearly supports the decision of each association, whether it is to participate or not, as the decision was reached by the association board of directors and their community. Currently we have 9 associations who have decided not to participate in the 2020 season, 7 are cheer and football and 2 is cheer only.
The conference has provided draft protocols and will continue to do as state, national and CDC guidelines change to open the fields to the athletes. Protocols will be based on the best-known practices in managing youth sports.
Thank you for your patience, support, and input as we move forward.

| Covid-19 and the 2020 Season NHYFSC Member Association Families
We hope that you and your families are safe and healthy as we fight COVID-19 as a community and a country.
The NHYFSC and AYF & AYC have been monitoring and following the advice of the CDC and public health authorities. It is a day to day evaluation of the state of health for the nation and NH.
To help reduce the exposure and transmission of COVID-19 (coronavirus) we are adhering to the stay in place order issued. We are working with our member associations by postponing all in-person registrations and events to help protect our families. We have been meeting with our members remotely each month to communicate the best ways to serve our families during this stay in place order.
This letter is to inform you that we have not changed our timeline and are still preparing for a regular 2020 season. Our association members and children’s health & safety are our number 1 priority. We will closely monitor the situation and let you know if we update our schedule based on recommendations from the CDC and public health authorities.
While we are under the stay in place order families are encouraged and able to register online with their association by visiting www.nhyfsc.org/registration , select the association you want to register with from the dropdown.
Please stay tuned for future emails and visit us online at www.nhyfsc.org and on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/NHYFSC/.
On behalf of the entire New Hampshire Youth Football & Spirit Conference, be safe and stay healthy.
Best regards,

| Congratulations Coach Morgan Francis The NHYFSC want to congratulate
Windham Wolverines Coach Morgan Francis
MORGAN FRANCIS may not care for the spotlight, but that’s where he’ll be Friday afternoon.
That’s when Francis, a 36-year-old Windham resident, will be presented with the Youth Coach of Distinction Award at the Big New England Football Clinic in Newport, R.I. New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels will present the award to the winners, one from each of the six New England states.
Francis, who moved to New Hampshire from Oklahoma in 2016, has coached in the Windham Wolverines youth football program for each of the past three seasons. He has a son in the program and a daughter who is a Wolverines cheerleader. In addition, his wife, Bethany, is the program’s co-cheer director.
“Windham football is a community for sure and I feel like although I’m receiving this award it’s for the Windham program,” Francis said. “It’s not an individual thing. I don’t necessarily like the spotlight on things like this, and I appreciate the honor, but this is more so a trophy for the program itself. The president (John Oliveira) and director of football operations (Dennis Brearley), both those guys are absolute first class, care about the program and have been involved in it a lot longer than I have. I feel like I’m just the fruits of that labor.”
According to the Big New England Clinic, an event that attracts high school coaches from throughout the country, the Youth Coach of Distinction Award is presented annually “to a coach with a love of the game of football and who is dedicated to the betterment of the game and the development of its young athletes. The recipient is inspiring and encouraging, as well as patient and compassionate. He/she is a role model who teaches the game with dignity and sportsmanship, and who ultimately leaves an indelible mark on the lives of the players he/she mentors.”
Windham High School varsity football coach Jack Byrne nominated Francis.
“It’s a commitment that he shows a huge passion for,” Byrne said. “There’s so much good that football can bring because it teaches so many life lessons, but it’s also a sport that can go wrong if you don’t have the right people running things. What stands out most about Morgan is his passion and enthusiasm for teaching the game of football. I think it’s unlikely that the players he’s worked with will ever forget the impact he’s had on them personally or in terms of their football development.”

Kissimmee, Fla. (March 20, 2018) – The Kissimmee Sports Commission and American Youth Football, Inc. have signed a five-year partnership agreement for the annual American Youth Football & Cheer Championships to continue being hosted in Osceola County through 2022. This event generates nearly $8 million in direct economic impact annually and brings 19,500 overnight visitors to the area each year.
American Youth Football, Inc. is an independent non-profit corporation that provides support services, grants, giving back programs, and tournament opportunities to over 25,000 youth football and cheer teams from all 50 states and internationally. The American Youth Football & Cheer National Championships has been hosted in Kissimmee since 2007.
“The AYF Championships is the culmination of our youth development program, which focuses on training, motivation, academics, and community involvement,” said Joe Galat, President and CEO of American Youth Football. “This is the world’s largest youth football event and an incredible accomplishment and opportunity for these kids. We’re
excited to keep bringing our teams and event to Kissimmee.”
The AYF cheerleading championships will continue to be hosted at Osceola Heritage Park, while the football championships will remain at the Austin Tindall Sports Complex, an outdoor sporting venue currently undergoing $10.7 million in renovations and expansion. This massive improvement project, funded by Osceola County, will benefit the American Youth Football Championships as the event and the AYF corporation continue to grow.
“We’re excited to continue our partnership with AYF for another five years,” said Jeff Kuenzli, Facility Director at Austin Tindall Sports Complex. “Our expanding footprint and ability to change our facility to meet our client’s needs makes Austin Tindall Sports Complex a perfect fit for this caliber of event.”
These facility accommodations, as well the overnight accommodations available in the destination played a substantial role in securing the extended partnership agreement.
“AYF brings a wide range of guests to the area each year, and Kissimmee is able to provide an equally diverse range of accommodations to fit every visitor’s preference,” said John Poole, Director of Kissimmee Sports Commission. “With over 50,000 accommodation options, plus the nearby theme parks and attractions, it’s an ideal destination for AYF participants and their families to enjoy the entire sports travel experience.”

| Concussion Safety Awareness and Fact Sheet The NHYFSC takes Concussions very seriously. Through constant training for our administrators and coaches we feel this will help individuals identify the signs of a concussion.
What is a Concussion? A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury. Concussions are caused by a bump or blow to the head. Even a “ding,” “getting your bell rung,” or what seems to be a mild bump or blow to the head can be serious. You can’t see a concussion. Signs and symptoms of concussion can show up right after the injury or may not appear or be noticed until days or weeks after the injury. If your child reports any symptoms of concussion, or if you notice the symptoms yourself, seek medical attention right away.
Please click here to download a copy of the CDC Head's Up Concussion Fact Sheet for Parents.
The more administrators, coaches, parents and athletes know about a concussion the better we will be able to keep our children safe.
Let's have a safe and exciting 2017 season.
