SVYFL Tackle Football League
Welcome to SVYFL Tackle Football, Home of the Hawks!
The Suntree Viera Youth Football League (SVYFL) Tackle Football program competes in the Atlantic Coast Youth Athletics Association (ACYAA), providing young athletes the opportunity to develop their skills in a competitive and supportive environment.
Our program focuses on player development, safety, teamwork, and character, helping athletes grow both on and off the field while preparing them for future success at the middle school and high school levels.
SVYFL Tackle Football is built on a strong tradition of community pride, competitive play, and athlete development throughout Brevard County.

Our coaching staff participates in nationally recognized football education programs, ensuring they are trained in proper tackling techniques, concussion awareness, and heat-related illness prevention.
