Notes
CORRECTED 2026-07-31 - Kentucky has a separate Kentucky Middle School Football Association (KYMSFA) covering middle AND elementary school football, not just KHSAA at 7th-8th. The middle-school picture here is more developed than assumed and may reach further down the grades. Re-check the rec cutoff. School football generally starts at 7th grade, so youth ball likely tops out around 6th. Note that in basketball-first districts a middle school football program may not exist at all.
Seasons, fees and registration windows change. Confirm with the league before you pay. Our record: Medium. What our tiers mean
