In 1968, Pastor Lee Barry and the late Cecil Lewelling, Sr. joined forces to start a youth football program. When the idea began, Cecil stated that he could get the kids but did not have the funds for the equipment. Mr. Barry said that “if you get the kids, I’ll get the equipment.” Mr. Lewelling went door-to-door recruiting youths to play on the first football team. Mr. Barry kept his word and supplied all new uniforms and equipment to suit up 25 kids. So, in 1969, the Taneytown Tigers took the field as the first youth football team in Taneytown. In 1970, the cheerleaders were introduced and coached by the late Jeannette Lewelling. Mrs. Lewelling made all of the cheerleading outfits for the first few years. Now, over the years, the league has expanded and changed from the Taneytown Tigers to the FSK Jr. Eagles Football, Inc.

CCYFCL Website
CCYFCL football and cheer league is a non-profit organization re-established in 2015 to provide the opportunity for children to participate in youth football and cheer. The CCYFCL provides children the chance to learn the values of character, integrity, discipline, and teamwork through football and cheer; to bring our communities together through a common interest in sports; to promote fair play and fellowship; to teach the game elements promoting safety, enjoyment, and healthy competition.
Our representative continually works with State and County government officials to ensure that the sport we love is allowed to continue, even during a pandemic, by ensuring a focus on strict safety standards and continued training guidelines for coaches. In 2021 we were comprised of 70 teams and close to 1,500 football players, including 9 Pitbull teams. This was a huge accomplishment for our programs, our league and the sport of football. One of the things that has made this league successful is that we are self-governed, each program is represented and has a vote. This works due to a level of respect and trust among each of the participating programs and leaders to see the bigger picture and not a self-contained point of view.
For upcoming seasons, we will continue to build strong foundations for our athletes and maintain the expected level of integrity and conduct from our programs, players, parents, and coaches. We look forward to future seasons and the continued progress of our players and programs. As evident by each of our programs fielding Pitbull teams the future is bright and we have you to thank for that!
Philosophy
Our goal is to develop well-rounded young men and women who learn not only the fundamentals of football & cheer, but also the importance of education and teamwork in an atmosphere conductive to developing sound mind, body and character - all while enjoying their experience here.
