Schedule
Game schedules are determined by the Bill George Youth Football League (BGYFL) and may take a few weeks into the season to finalize.
PAFA Spirit schedules cannot be created until the official football schedule has been finalized by the league and by the PAFA football board.
We make every effort to publish our schedule within 48 hours of receiving the football schedule.
We ask for your patience and understanding as the schedule for the first two weeks of the season may not come out until a few days before game day.
The schedule will be posted here:
