Barrington Football Tackle Overview
The Mission of the Barrington Youth Football Tackle program is to provide the opportunity for Barrington area boys and girls between the ages of seven and fourteen to learn the fundamentals of football and participate in an organized, competitive program with participants of similar age and size. The BYF TACKLE Program is open to children that reside in the Barrington School District (District 220 http://www.cusd220.org).
Tackle teams travel to compete against other towns and football organizations that are members of the
The Chicagoland Youth Football League (TCYFL).
The tackle program has two types of teams:
- "Big Ten" - There is one "Big Ten" team per level that plays on Sunday. The players are selected by the team's head coach to represent BYF's most competitive players at each age and weight level.
- "Pac Ten" - Remaining players are equally split among "Pac Ten" teams that play mostly on Saturday. For these teams, the rules mandate equal playing time and the emphasis is instruction, development and participation.
