El Dorado Jr Cougars Football and Cheer

The El Dorado Jr Cougars recently changed our parent league to the Sacramento Youth Football (SYF)League. The Organization felt strongly the move would be beneficial to the future of the Jr Cougars and would build long lasting rivalries within El Dorado County as the Union Mine Jr Rattlers and the Golden Sierra Jr Grizzlies are both members of SYF. The SYF currently has 21 member teams strategically divided into three divisions. The Jr Cougars are in Division III with six other teams.

The Sacramento Youth Football League is a member of the American Youth Football (AYF) League. The American Youth Football, Inc., established in 1996, is an international youth football organization established to promote the wholesome development of youth through their association with adult leaders in the sport of American football. The NFL recognizes this firm commitment and AYF has been made a national youth partner of the National Football League.

The El Dorado Jr Cougars are also a member fo USA Football. USA Football is an independent non-profit organization leading the development of youth, high school, and international amateur football. In its role as the national governing body of America's favorite sport, USA Football provides programs and resources inspiring participation and further strengthening the quality of the game. USA Football was endowed by the NFL and NFL Players Association in 2002.
