LYAA Basketball Announcement: Please Read! by
posted 05/15/2013 Basketball No Longer Offered by LYAA
After much consideration, the Board of Directors for the LYAA has made the decision to discontinue its basketball program for 5th and 6th graders in the Loveland area. We have had a great history of providing recreational basketball for Loveland youth, but we have made this decision based upon several factors: declining enrollment, other basketball offerings/ programs in the area, lack of volunteer resources (and board members) and the goal of building up the football program. We are announcing this six months before the basketball season so parents could search for alternative programs early. We want to thank all the parents and players for your participation in the program in recent years. It has been a great experience working and playing with all of you.

posted 03/11/2013 LYAA Football 2013
Its never too early to start thinking about football! As an organization, we are always thinking, planning and talking about youth football in Loveland. We hope that 2013 is our best year yet, and that could be tough to do following our 50th Anniversary season in 2012!
We would like to highlight some key dates and pieces of information to answer most of your questions for the upcoming LYAA season.
Online Regisration: Begins on Monday April 1. You will Register using the 'Sign Up' button on the menu bar.
Walkup Registration: July 14, July 15-17, July 20, and July 27. Location and time TBD
Who can play?: Football is open to all kids in grades 3rd - 8th Grades (for the 2013-14 school year). While most of our kids come from Estes Park or Loveland, we do have some come from surrounding communities.
Cost: *To be determined. For the 2012 season, our cost was $100. However, due to rising equipment costs, field rental, etc., our per-child cost will be rising. Our Board of Directors is determining the cost now and we will pass that information on prior to April 1. Please understand, we will do everything to keep the cost as low as possible and still maintain the financial well-being of the league.
What equipment is provided?: At equipment checkout time (in August), all players will receive a helmet, chin strap, shoulder pads, padded pants and mouth guard. These helmets, shoulder pads and pants are required to be worn in practices and games - i.e. you may not use your own equipment. This is a policy mandated by our insurance, not by the LYAA. Your child can wear his own mouthguard (nothing clear), football cleats, football gloves, etc.
When is equipment checkout?: Aug 12-15 5pm-8pm, Aug 17 9am-Noon
Where is practice and when does it begin?: Practice begins Aug 19 for all grades. 3rd-5th grades will be at North Lake Park, 6th-8th grades will be at Loveland Sports Park (LSP) for the first two weeks of practice. Starting Tuesday, Sep 3 all grades will be at North Lake Park.
When are the games?: Most games are on Sat mornings at North Lake Park. Some games will be at LSP, but these dates and grades have not been determined. Our first games will be Saturday, September 6.
Does the LYAA have any weight restrictions?: No, all players are eligible to play every position on the field.
Can I coach or sponsor a team?: YES!! Every year, we are in need of some people who are very generous with their time and money to make our league run. Please contact us at
for questions about coaching or sponsoring.
I don't want to coach or sponsor, but how can I help?: Like most youth organizations, we wouldn't exist without the volunteers who have given their time to make our league a great experience for the kids. We have many opportunities to volunteer your time like being a member of the Board of Directors, checking out/returning equipment, helping during registration time, etc. WE NEED HELP!!!

Thanks for visiting the LYAA!
