The Executive Board serves as the authoritative governing body of the league, overseeing all operational aspects of member communities and teams. Any changes to daily operations require the Executive Board's oversight and final approval. The rules of the Georgia Youth Football League (GYFL) are derived from the established regulations of the Executive Board, reputable handbooks, the National Federation of State High School (NFHS) Rule Book, and the guidelines set forth by the Georgia High School Sports Association (GHSSA). The Executive Board retains the authority to interpret, modify, add, suspend, or revoke any rule as needed, ensuring the integrity of fair competition at all times.
