About Us

Canton/Burlington Youth Football & Cheer is a fun and fundamentals based program for athletes from Burlington, Harwinton, Canton and surrounding towns. Our football and cheer programs are for athletes ages 7 through 14.  

CBYF&C is dedicated to providing a program to aid in the development of our youth that parents love. We believe that positive coaching can yield exceptional sportsmanship, individual commitment for team success, and love of the game. 

Schoolwork comes first and players are encouraged to excel to the best of their ability in the classroom. We run our organization with transparency, and deeply appreciate the contributions of our sponsors. We encourage our members to support the businesses that sustain us. Our organization thrives because of the tremendous volunteerism and contributions from board members, high school athletes, and parents.

Our Teams:

  • D/Mighty Mights Division is for ages 7/8 (under 110 lbs.)
  • C Division is for ages 9/10 (under 125 lbs.) 
  • B Division is for ages 11/12 (under 155lbs.) 
  • A Division is for ages 13/14 (under 185 lbs.) 

Ages are as of December 31st/calendar year (example, if the 10th birthday is anytime during this year, then the player would play on C Division for the upcoming fall season). Older players can play at a younger level if they are under league weight requirements, and players exceeding the weight for their age group can "play up".
