PARKLAND FLAG FOOTBALL HALL of FAME
Fred Yarmuth aka Freddy the Ref
For over 30 years Freddy has been instrumental in growing the league and making a lasting impression on countless kids and families in the community. From coaching and refereeing generations of players to being a source of laughter and inspiration, Freddy's passion for youth sports has earned him a well-deserved place in the Parkland Flag Football Hall of Fame and the Dr. Nan S. Hutchison Broward County Senior Hall of Fame. Freddy continues to serve his community, exemplifying a selfless and charismatic individual dedicated to creating lasting memories and relationships.
John Thraum
John, a true embodiment of the values championed by the Freddy the Ref award and the PFFL, has rightfully earned his place in the Hall of Fame. His unwavering dedication, selflessness, and countless hours spent assisting with equipment, enforcing rules, and leading the referee crew attest to his exceptional commitment to the league. As a referee and head of equipment, John's contributions have been invaluable, making him a true hall of famer in every sense.
Matt Kaufman
After many years as a board member Matt took over as league president in 2020, amidst the challenges of the Covid-19 outbreak. As countless leagues succumbed to the overwhelming circumstances, Matt remained resolute in his belief that kids in our community deserved an opportunity to play. With an unwavering passion and unrelenting drive, Matt offered kids in the community flag football, ensuring not only its survival but also its remarkable progress and expansion throughout his 3 years as president. His unwavering dedication and exceptional leadership qualities made him an undeniable source of inspiration for all involved in the Parkland Flag Football League (PFFL). At the conclusion of the 2022 season, after 3 dedicated years as president, Matt stepped down, after coaching his team to one of the most exciting Super Bowls wins in Parkland Flag history(in double overtime in the pouring rain).
