🏈 2026 Tackle Football


The Barrington Youth Football Tackle program gives boys and girls ages 7 to 14 the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of football in a safe, organized, and competitive environment. Players are grouped with participants of similar age and size to ensure a positive and developmentally appropriate experience for every athlete.

The BYF Tackle program is open to all children residing within the Barrington School District (District 220).

Our tackle teams compete as members of The Chicagoland Youth Football League (TCYFL), traveling to play against other towns and football organizations throughout the Chicagoland area.
