The Permian Basin Youth Football League, PBYFL, is a non-profit youth football league that was in 2011. The PBYFL is a Christian based league with our motto being “First Things First,” meaning we put Christ first in all that we do. Our mission is to introduce the basic fundamentals of football and cheer, all while instilling good Christian values in our youth. It is our goal to provide a memorable and positive experience for all of our players, cheerleaders, and parents alike.

In July 2015, the PBYFL acquired the “Rec” league of Big Springs, Coahoma, Forsan, and surrounding areas. We are happy to announce the expansion of the PBYFL in both of these areas and hope to continue to move forward in future growth.

In the beginning of 2016, the PBYFL joined hands with The Boys and Girls Club in order to continue our expansion of making West Texas Youth Football the best it has ever been. We are pleased to be able to say that, we as a board, are truly seeing God’s hands work for us in the opening of doors that we once thought couldn’t be done.

Since partnering with The Boys and Girls Club PBYFL/BGCO has experienced rapid growth. Approaching the 2020 Fall season PBYFL/BGCO now has 15 organizations, spanning all over the West Texas region.
