Our Organization
The Stewarts Creek Hawks Football Team (SCYFCA) is a member of the Tennessee Youth Football League (TNYFL) and calls Stewarts Creek High School’s football field home. We’re gearing up for our inaugural season in 2021 and our teams will provided children ages 5-12 with the opportunity to participate in football and cheerleading programs.
As a nonprofit organization, it is SCH’s goal to develop and prepare today’s young athletes for what lies ahead in sports and in life. Guided by a volunteer board of directors and an awesome coaching staff, SCH is positioning itself to be a premier football and cheer organization in Symrna & Murfreesboro for years to come.

ABOUT THE TNYFL
The TNYFL has been formed from a collection of communities that desire to help develop young athletes into middle school and high school athletes with a focus on discipline, technique and proper sportsmanship.
Because of our commitment to providing the safest and most responsible environment for teaching and developing these young athletes, we formed the new non-profit organization for ages 4-14. Each of our communities work with our local high school coaches to provide the latest in proper technique and safety so that our parents can be confident that their child is in a responsible environment for learning the values and rewards of youth football. In our first three years, we have already become the largest in Middle Tennessee with continued growth in Davidson, Maury, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson, and Wilson Counties that project us to exceed 2000 athletes.
We hope to share our excitement for this new league and the energy that is has created toward football in Middle Tennessee.
Who We Are
Our Board Members
KRISTIN RUCKSTUHL
Hello Creek families, my name is Kristin. I am a Louisiana native (Geaux Tigers) but have lived in our wonderful community of Smyrna/Murfreesboro for 17 years now. I earned my bachelor’s degree in healthcare/ business administration from Middle Tennessee State University and thoroughly enjoy my role in Supply Chain leadership, but love being a wife, mom, and mentor the most!
I am married to my wonderful husband of 18 years, and we have three children (17, 15, 10). Our oldest plays senior varsity football for SCHS, our middle plays soccer, and our youngest cheers – so needless to say – we are sports loving family! My husband devoted many years as a coach for Smyrna Baseball League and travel leagues and we have enjoyed over a decade of volunteer opportunities for the community.
What makes me most excited to be part of this program is seeing the family and community support that goes into ensuring today’s kids have a safe, fun, and competitive avenue to grow in sports. I thank Derek Potter whole-heartedly for his leadership in developing a youth league for our Creek community! It is truly a privilege to watch these young athletes develop into student athletes as they bridge into middle and high school programs or into their next chapter. I am very grateful to serve as a SCYFCA volunteer board member and to be part of the best community there is! GO CREEK!
