Youth tackle football league sees massive growth in Southern Utah

Gridiron University is a leader in youth tackle football. For over 25 years GIU has hosted games and events that welcomed athletes like Tony Romo, Marcus Brady and many more. From unique events like the High School Football Coaches Gala and three Youth Allstar games that host the best talent in the nation to SUNYFL, which is the Southern Utah premier youth football league, GIU is committed to providing an experience that goes deeper than just the love of the game.

SUNYFL is the premier league in Southern Utah. Over the last five years, the 7-on-7 Passing League has grown from 16 teams to over 45 teams.

“Football is changing faster than ever. It is our job to make sure we give our kids the opportunity to learn and keep up with those changes,” GIU President, Darry “Gator” Alton said.

The 7-on-7 Passing League is a developmental league that allows youth in fourth to eighth grade the opportunity to hone their skills, learn routes, play competitively against other teams and stay on track with the ever-changing landscape of football.

GIU and SUNYFL look forward to supporting the youth football community now and into the future.

“This provides them an opportunity to learn and really become immersed in competitive sports. Football and sports in general connect us in a way that nothing else can, these kids get to experience friendship, brotherhood, team spirit, character, and good sportsmanship. Those kinds of lessons help to create better members of society,” Gator said.
