The Lenape Valley Patriots Football and Cheer Program is proud to participate in the Morris County Youth Football League (MCYFL). The MCYFL plays in Morris, Sussex and Warren Counties and is home to approximately 22 football clubs. LVP is fortunate to play our home games at Lenape Valley Regional High School.
Our robust Flag Football Program pays a 5 on 5 player format. All games are internal within the LVP organization at CO Johnson.
Weight, Age & Grade limits exist for each of the levels of tackle football.
