Optional purchases will be available for jackets, shoes, and body liners.

While the public school allows us to use their space, we are not a school organization. Charter, Private, and Homeschool children may participate. If your home school does not offer a football program within the GMYAA, they are free to play wherever you so choose. If your home school is a GMYAA football school, we encourage you to play for your home school, but understand if you would like to play for TYAA, and there are no restrictions.

TYAA is an all Volunteer non-profit organization. None of our Board members, directors, and coaches are paid. 

Chain of command is: assistant coach, coach, director, board of directors.
