The Old Pueblo Football Classic kicked off the 50th Anniversary of the Tucson Youth Football & Spirit Federation (TYFSF).

Teams from all over Southern Arizona and a few teams from Phoenix took part in the Old Pueblo Classic held at the historic Rillito Park located on 1st Avenue and River Road. The Classic served as a combine of sorts, comprised of scrimmages against other Federation programs.
