The Louisiana Youth Coaches Alliance and Louisiana Youth Football welcomes you to the 2005 Louisiana Youth Football Championship Series, Quest For The Mayor's Cup.
Saturday, December 10th, while the eyes of College Football fans focused on New York & the Heisman Race and the eyes of High School Football fans were focused on Shreveport & the LHSAA Nokia Sugar Bowl Prep Championships, Youth Football fans witnessed history in the making at Memorial Stadium in Baton Rouge. Over 1,000 youth football fans witnessed the fruits of a magnificent season of competitive football from over 1044 student athletes, 44 teams, and over 300 volunteers. This historical event will forever be known as the Inaugural Louisiana Youth Football Championship Series, Quest For The Mayor's Cup. The day was filled with the pageantry & showmanship comparable to the Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, & Orange Bowl, including the parades thanks to the annual Gus Young and CADAV Christmas Parades.

These numbers will be used as our benchmark for future growth in our academic programs.

In our inaugural season, we have 44 registered teams, approximately 1100 registered youth (ranging from 7 yrs old to 13 yrs old), and approximately 300 volunteer coaches. These numbers are impressive, even for established youth activities; so we are excited about our accomplishments thus far and delighted to share this with the citizens of Baton Rouge & Louisiana.
Louisiana Youth Football inaugural season's culmination will be the Louisiana Youth Football Championship Series, Quest For The Mayor's Cup. This championship series is a playoff system designed to determine our league champions for all age groups (Division A: 7-8, Division AA: 9-10, Division AAA: 11-12).

During this event, we will also recognize the Louisiana Youth Football All State Academic Team. Any student athlete who maintained a 3.0 or better GPA during the season will be named to the Louisiana Youth Football All State Academic Team for each division. These student athletes will be nominated by their coach for consideration. An official report card or progress report must accompany the nomination.
