Welcome to Herndon Optimist Youth Football (HOYF)! We are one of the sports sponsored by the Herndon Optimist Club and operate under the umbrella of the Fairfax County Youth Football League (FCYFL). Our goal is to provide boys and girls, ages 7-16, of Northern Virginia an opportunity to play American-style full-contact tackle football and learn sportsmanship, teamwork, and responsibility while having fun.

Registration for our Fall 2013 Season opened April 1st. We will be having our free skills development camp the week of July 22-26. Our first day of practice will be August 5th. Regular season games begin in mid-September and end in late October. Playoff and championship games are complete by mid-November. For more information about playing tackle football and participating in our league, please read the "Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)" document under the menu option "FAQ's, Forms, Documents". For additional details on an event (e.g., location, time, what to wear/bring), please visit our "Events Calendar" and click on the event name.

If you have any other questions, please use the "Feedback" option on the left side menu and we will get back to you as soon as we can. GO HORNETS!
