In 2016, the KYMSFA was able to crown 4 new State Champions for Middle School Football in a tournament that had over 100 teams from across the state of Kentucky competing, and jam packed weekend of exciting football capped off in Lexington during the State Championship weekend. KYMSFA had two outstanding All Star games that had the top 8th & 7th graders in the state against each other over Thanksgiving weekend. KYMSFA also had 3 national teams (6th, 7th, 8th grade) compete in the Football University National Championship tournament, in which our 6th and 7th grade teams played to the regional championship games in Georgia, and our 8th grade team won our region, and played in the national championship week in Naples Florida coming in 5th place this past December.

KYMSFA is a 501C3 not for profit entity that provides these opportunities to middle school athletes across the state of Kentucky. Its board is comprised of all non paid volunteers who spend countless hours providing these opportunities. As you know, running these events and activities cost not only time to organize, but funds as well. With that said, the KYMSFA is looking for corporate sponsorships in order to continue providing these events and activities. Below is our sponsorship structure for 2017:

Note this is not the semi big news I have been referring too.

[footballfever]

How many schools in the KYMSFA? Can a school choose not to join?

How many schools in the KYMSFA? Can a school choose not to join?

This must be a very difficult question.

[Coach_Lockwood]

I'd wish all middle schools had to join like the khsaa but some schools will drop out because they feel they won't have a good team (which is a weak excuse if you ask me). So technically teams that pay there membership fee are on a one year contract with renewal every season.

Even if I had a 0-10 team, I'd still take them to playoffs for the experience.

[plantmanky]

This must be a very difficult question.

It sorta is at the current time, because my honest answer would have to be zero, being we just started a new season. Now, I know thats not the answer you want, but it would be the truthful one.

Last year we had 92 members in good standing.

[eagles2011]

If more people would look back at the past 4 year of middle- school st championship it's carried over to high school programs and made their high school teams better,
Belfry middle school state champs high school state championship
Johnson central middle school champs high school state championship
Bowling green high school state championship
Wayne county
Pulaski county
Corbin
I no there more but other teams should get on board
