Eau Claire Youth Football

If you are looking for a premier youth football experience in Eau Claire, WI, Chippewa Valley Youth Football (CVYF) offers a unique and dedicated program for your child. Established in 1973, our non-profit organization is focused on the wholesome development of youth through teamwork, leadership, and professional guidance.

A central philosophy of our league is encouraging local athletes to play TOGETHER on the same team rather than against one another. By keeping kids from the Eau Claire area on a unified squad, we help foster the team chemistry and camaraderie that are essential for their future years in the sport. It is also important for families to know that CVYF is an independent organization and is not affiliated with any other youth football organization or league, allowing us to focus entirely on the needs of our local community.

Players will play along side their peers who will play alongside of them in high school like Memorial, North, Regis, etc.

Our Tackle Football program is designed to provide a safe and structured environment for athletes to learn the fundamentals of the game. For the Eau Claire community, we offer divisions for 5th/6th graders, as well as a specialized 7th-grade tackle team due to 7th grade football being cut out of the ECASD. We prioritize an atmosphere of safety with a strict competitive balance between teams, ensuring every player can grow and succeed. By competing together as one Eau Claire team (teams sorted by which high school they'll attend like Memorial, North, Regis, etc.), players develop a shared tactical foundation while participating in league traditions like the Annual Tailgate Kickoff and the Classic Day of Champions.

The Flag Football league provides a high-energy, non-contact introduction to the sport for athletes in 2nd through 6th grade. This program focuses on mastering the basics of speed, strategy, and sportsmanship. By keeping Eau Claire players on one cohesive team with fellow players they'll play with in high school, we build the trust and communication skills that will serve them for a lifetime. This division is a vital stepping stone that allows local youth to refine their skills in a supportive, community-focused atmosphere.

As one of our fastest-growing offerings, Girls Flag Football provides an empowering environment for girls in 2nd through 8th grade to excel in the sport. We encourage girls from the Eau Claire area to join together, building confidence and teamwork as a single squad. This league maintains the same high standards for safety and player development found across all our programs, helping local girls develop a passion for the game alongside their peers.

The Futures program is our specialized introduction to the sport for our youngest athletes in Kindergarten and 1st grade. This program focuses entirely on fun, basic motor skills, and the very first elements of teamwork in a low-pressure setting. By beginning their football journey together, Eau Claire’s youngest players start building the friendships and team chemistry that will define their future years in the league.

Choosing CVYF means joining a passionate community that serves over 750 players across eight counties. We are the most established choice for youth football in the region for several key reasons:

• Commitment to Safety: Our rules and regulations are specifically designed to ensure the benefit, growth, and general welfare of every player.
• Local Convenience: We value your time; while games are played at the central Weber Fields, our Eau Claire teams practice in their local area to keep participation accessible for busy families.
• Professional Guidance: Coaches are supported by USA Football certification and resources to provide high-quality instruction for every child.
• Independent Organization: Because we have no affiliation with other leagues, we can focus 100% of our mission on providing for our specific Chippewa Valley communities.
