The Mission

The mission of the Hanover Township Youth Football and Cheerleading (HTYFC) is to provide a safe, fun learning environment for the youth of our community. We strive to create an opportunity for kids to work together as a team toward common goals. We emphasize sportsmanship, teamwork and respect for authority figures (Directors, Coaches, and Game Officials). While we are not a farm system for high school football programs, we recognize the impact we may have on those programs. Our focus is on developing good life skills through the sports of football and cheerleading.

The League

The football program participates in the Morris County Midget Football League (MCMFL) which is broken down in seven structured leagues based upon a child's age and weight. Please refer to the league sections of the web site for specifics. In addition, Teams within the MCMFL are broken down into two divisions American and National where teams are generally assigned based upon the enrollment of their High Schools in order to make fair competition. Each division has two conferences Iron and Hills in the National Division and Morris and Northern in the American Division. Our Tigers currently play in the American Division / Northern Conference. The American Division has a total of 10 teams at each level and during the season we play each of the team once for a 9 game schedule.
