Mississippi Valley Youth Football League is a 501c3 non profit organization. Established in 2023, MV was brought to fruition by a group of football enthusiast that wanted to make the game better for the youth of the metro east. The inaugural 2023 fall season will include ten organizations competing against one another with children from kindergarten to 8th grade.

The purpose of the league shall be to promote the game of football in the area; to inspire children to
practice good health, citizenship, and character to bring area children together through the means of a common interest in sportsmanship, fair play, and fellowship; to impart to the game elements of safety, sanity, intelligent supervision; and to keep the welfare of the children first and entirely free of adult lust and glory.

In addition to the above general purposes, specific purposes are as follows:

• To acquaint the children with the fundamentals of the game; running, passing, kicking, blocking, and tackling. 
• To teach through the game: sportsmanship, love of the game, and the ability to take a few knocks and bumps. 
• To promote safe play by encouraging children to play in their own weight and age division, and preventing rough play and piling on. The Tri-County Junior Football Conference will be an entirely not-for-profit organization. No Officer, Board member, or any other member will receive any type of remuneration for their services from the organizations treasury. 
• The Tri-County Junior Football Conference will not endorse, sponsor financially, nor support in any other way, any political party or candidate of any political office.
