The Kennedale-Mansfield Youth Association (KMYA Wildcats) is a proud 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing football and cheer programs for the youth in our community. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where kids can learn, grow, and thrive through the excitement of sports.
For more than 50 years, the Kennedale Youth Association has been a cornerstone of the Kennedale community. What started as a small-town initiative has grown into a strong network of volunteer parents, coaches, and administrators who are passionate about giving young athletes the chance to succeed—on the field and in life.
At KMYA, sports are more than just games. We use football and cheer as powerful tools to teach the importance of honesty, courage, loyalty, and sportsmanship. Our mission is to instill in every child the heart of a champion:
Through these values, we are not just building athletes—we are building future leaders with character, confidence, and resilience.
