WYFL moving forward with the creation of an eagle mountain youth football organization

By Tony Knight
As most of you are aware by now, there is a new high school being built in the Eagle Mountain area scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2019. What an exciting time in our community! This will necessitate some changes to our own football family because our conference requires our football leagues to be aligned with high school boundaries. To this end, the Westlake Youth Football League (WYFL) is in the process of putting into place an organization to govern Eagle Mountain Youth Football as we move to bring the WYFL's experience, success, and elite Utah County competition to Eagle Mountain!

Our plan is to have the new Eagle Mountain Board in place to shadow our current WYFL Board so the transition is as smooth as possible in the future. This will NOT change anything for the coming WYFL season, 2018, as all current WYFL teams will play under the same WYFL banner and colors this season.

The planned Eagle Mountain football organization will begin operations in 2019 since the logo, mascot, colors, and name of the Eagle Mountain HS are as yet unknown. We are going to start and separate teams geographically as much as possible to facilitate the impending split that is mandated next year. We consulted with other districts that implemented a similar split and are modeling our process based on their feedback and experience. Since we are also playing in a NEW, EXPANDED CONFERENCE (details forthcoming this weekend), we will have some flexibility with how our teams are placed in divisions. The conference understands this and is willing to work with us to insure our teams are playing equally competitive teams.

Growth and change presents us with this unique opportunity for you to get involved and make a difference in the Eagle Mountain community. We have been planning for this inevitability for the last year and now is the time for all of us to step up and help create a great experience for our future Eagle Mountain HS star players. We would like to speak with you and talk about the open positions we anticipate we'll need. Please contact Kenny Balser, WYFL President, at presidentwyfl@gmail.com as soon as possible and let's talk about how you might best fit in to the newest league in our new conference...or if you have any other questions.
