Quick Facts:  Using fall 2009 scores from the MVYFL website:  In games where Mt. Airy Bulldogs varsity team played other organizations of similar size i.e. Middletown, Gamber and Catoctin they were outscored 60 to 14. ?  In games where they played small programs i.e. FSK, Boonsboro, and FYSA they outscored their opponents 117-0. ?   One of the problems in the MVYFL is small programs ”Brunswick, Boonsboro, FSK” have no way of fielding teams who will be competitive at all levels year after year.  What happens at the beginning of each season.  Well if you are a Mt. Airy Bulldog and you division consists of 5 total programs including you and 3 of the 4 other programs have no way of fielding good teams b/c of sheer low registration numbers in a small community then I guess you can count on a winning record and enjoy scoring 117 points while the competition get destroyed.  I’m not sure how this is good for either team.  One advantage in the MMYFCL is they have so many organizations involved that they match program size and ability so teams are more evenly matched and they do this on an annual basis to create a level playing field.  In MAYAA the same old drum that has been beating for years.  Mt.  Airy hasn’t won a varsity superbowl since the turn of the century even against local small town competiton.  Meanwhile… Linganore, Urbana, Damascus all compete regularly for the league superbowl crown and all have won in the past 6 years vs. big time well known programs throughout the state.  Consistency is important.  Urbana won in 2009 against much stiffer competition including Linganore.  Both were ranked in the state top 10!  Looking for good preperation for your youth football player before high school?  If so you may want to play for an MMYFCL team where the level of play and competition is more likely to bring out the best in any player compared to beating up on FSK Boonsboro and FYSA weekly.  What do you learn while playing against someone who can’t compete?

Two leagues serving the same general areas with overlay’s in geography.  “MMYFCL” The Mid Maryland Youth Football and Cheer League and Mountain Valley Youth Football League “MVYFL”.  Two websites with information you can gather and compare.   http://www.leaguelineup.com/welcome.asp?cmenuid=1&url=mountainvalley&sid=17483177 or www.midmarylandfootball.com  Check them out and make your honest assessment of what is right for you and your youth football player.  The only thing not quite accurate yet is MMYFCL just added 3 more organizations to what you will see on their website home page.   Take a few moments to compare…  Also check out this website http://www.marylandyouthfootball.com/ and click “rankings” in the menu to see where things ended up last year.  Interesting… Look for any team in the MVYFL like Mt. Airy, Bruswick, FSK, Middletown, Gamber or FYSA anywhere in the rankings… then look for teams from Urbana, Linganore, Damascus and Winfield.   HMMMM?  What is your conclusion?  Keep it to yourself… we all have different opinions.  You know what they say… if it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, quacks like a duck, has feathers like a duck… well… it’s a DUCK!
