About Centennial Youth Football and Cheer

Welcome to the Centennial Youth Football Association (CYFA), where passion meets potential and young athletes are empowered to excel! Based in the East Portland and Gresham areas, CYFA is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering the love of football and cheerleading among our youth.

In 2024, we embarked on an exciting new chapter under the leadership of a dynamic new board. We proudly joined the Portland Athletic and Activities League (PAAL), which has opened doors to a wealth of new opportunities. It’s a great time to be an Eagle, and we invite you to experience the thrill with us!

One of the most exciting updates is our ability to offer free registration to all youth in our community. Thanks to our new league affiliation, we can also provide an expanded schedule with more games and special events. From jamborees to our annual Turkey Bowl, there’s no shortage of action and fun.

At CYFA, we’re committed to rekindling football excellence on Portland’s east side. Our mission is to build a program that not only enhances athletic skills but also strengthens our community bonds. We aspire to be a cornerstone of the East Portland and Gresham areas, bringing people together through the spirit of sport.

Our proud home is the brand-new Centennial High School football field. As the feeder program for Centennial High School Football, we serve as a launching pad for future high school athletes. We welcome all youth to join our program, regardless of their school district.

We invite you to be part of something extraordinary. Whether you’re a player, cheerleader, parent, or community supporter, there’s a place for you in the Centennial Youth Football Association. Let’s make memories, achieve greatness, and celebrate the joy of the game together!

Come and soar with the Eagles—your adventure begins here!
