Re: Adult Tackle Football League
Mazie Wingeier
I used to play football in high school and I miss it so much. I've been wanting to play recreational football after graduation (from college) but all the rec leagues are either flag or touch. Does anyone if there are any recreational leagues where you gear up? I played the QB/Safety positions back in high school and I want to tackle people again in gear.
Seniors in high school who have finished their football seasons are allowed to play in the CFL. Because players are not subsidized and must pay their own fees to the league and to the team they join, they maintain NCAA eligibility.
Archer plans to promote the league to high schools this spring and will even look into junior-college players whose careers may have hit a wall with the recent cancellation of all juco football programs in Arizona.

I had no desire to play at the collegiate level. I had already invested too much in my education. But after coming across a photo of an adult tackle-football league here in Arizona, I knew that was my chance to continue playing a sport I love at a recreational level.
But one aspect of these adult tackle-football leagues that differs from high school is that we are all in the same boat in one way or the other. At the end of the day, we all have to go back to work on Monday. So even after a big hit that would generate a loud crowd and sideline reaction, everyone was there to pick you up.
The tackle football program is looking for banner sponsors to promote their business or organizations. For only $250 a field, your 2' x 6' banner will be seen by thousands throughout the season. For more information, download the attachment (PDF).

The RPFL is a professional football league that provides adult football players with a platform to gain more experience while attaining great quality game film that can be used to market them to the NFL and CFL.
Right now, Semi-pro football is disjointed. There are numerous leagues in the area, many of whom have a handful of teams and offer little when it comes to differentiating themselves from those around them. We have always looked to retain our individuality, yet we also must look toward the future. We have been through many battles, chief among them being the viability of our game and whether or not it has a place in the adult football landscape. There have been numerous attempts to discredit us, to derail our efforts and they have come up wanting. We have played un-traditional football for eight years, and we are now the second-longest tenured league in Wisconsin, a league that has boasted 12 or more teams for over four seasons. Many leagues around us cannot come close to claiming the same.
As mentioned, there has been a shift in the football landscape just over these past few months. An opportunity has presented itself which we feel can not only add legitimacy to our league, but also help us retain our individuality. As of today, November 18th, 2014, the Ironman Football League (IFL) has agreed to cease operations and merge with the Gridiron Football League (GFL), bringing along their insight, knowledge and football programs to create an entity that immediately has just as many, if not more than, quality teams in the region. The GFL will continue to operate underneath its name and look to add even more experienced teams for 2015 and beyond. As part of this agreement, the GFL will now operate as an 11-man football league, to be recognized nationally as a viable football league.

The N.E.F.L. was founded on the basic principles of promoting semi-pro football in a controlled and structured environment while still maintaining a grass rootsapproach by making participation as cost effective as possible, controlling travel through scheduling geographically by a teams location, and creating a competitive balance through various levels ofcompetition. This concept has proven to be the right one for the N.E.F.L. Over the past twenty years, this approach has been the main reason for the leagues growth and success, along with all ofthe many outstanding and dedicated players, coaches and administrators that tirelessly commit themselves every year to their organizations because of their love for the game.
The premier season of the Yankee Collegiate Football Conference, which kicked off in 2010 and featured exclusively club level type football teams from collegesand universities throughout New England and New York that previously did not have an official league to participate in, had a tremendously successful year. The Southwest Connecticut Grizzliesdefeated the University of Vermont Catamounts in the inaugural Yankee Bowl Championship Game.
The addition of both NEFL2 and the Yankee Collegiate Conference has proven to be instrumental in the overall growth of our organization by providing the NEFL twoadditional avenues to increase both its team and player base, and further solidifying the NEFL as one of the largest and most successful adult amateur football leagues in the UnitedStates.
Both the Brawlers and Panthers went on to represent the NEFL in regional and national championship games. First the Panthers defeated the Albany Metro Maulers inthe semi-finals of the Harvest Bowl, and then moved on to defeat the Brooklyn Seminoles, champions of the Five Star Football League, in the regional Harvest Bowl championship, the Panthers secondregional title in as many years. Both the Panthers and Brawlers then went on to play in national championship games in Deland, Florida. The Brawlers defeated the Michigan Lightning of the C.R.F.L inthe Orange Blossom Bowl, and the Panthers beat the Inglewood, CA Blackhawks of the Labelle Community Football League, in the North American Bowl for their second straight National Title, and give theleague two National Champions, once again proving that the NEFL is the elite semi-pro, minor football league in the country.
