The Chatham Youth Football Club – New Jersey Suburban Football League (NJSYFL)

We operate as an independent non-for-profit organization and closely partner with Chatham Recreation, Chatham School District and Chatham Boro and Township. The Chatham Football Club Program is open to residents of Chatham.

“The Program is dedicated to serving the youth of Chatham in the sport of football.  All club board members and coaches in all of our programs are volunteers focused on improving our program and enhancing your child’s football and cheer experience. The club’s main purpose is to safely teach the fundamentals of football and cheer in an atmosphere that promotes the concepts of teamwork, dedication, commitment, and fair play. The goal at each level of all of our programs is to have 100% of the young men and women continue to play at the next level.”

We are funded via participation fees, fundraisers and donations

We participate in the New Jersey Suburban Football League (NJSYFL)

New Jersey Suburban Football League (NJSYFL)

The NJ Suburban Youth Football League (NJSYFL) was founded on December 8th, 1972 in Scotch Plains, NJ. The league was formed to provide participating communities with a chance to offer their resident players an opportunity to play in a non-restrictive football environment where every player would have a place to play within their town’s program.  As of 2024 there are 27 towns in the league.

Since its inception, the program has grown and matured significantly and now affords more than 4500 boys and girls an opportunity to participate in youth football and cheerleading programs each season

Games schedules, playoff and superbowl sites are determined by NJSYFL.   Participating towns can apply to host playoffs and championship games.  Schedules and playoff/Superbowl sites are determined by NJSYFL exclusively.  The season is typically 8 games plus two weeks for playoffs and Superbowls.
