Can anyone form a club and be part of TAFL? How can ensure we are in a league that has plans to grow? 

Yes!  Anyone can form a club with the right structure. You should know time is running out, so you would have to act quickly or wait until next year. The minimum requirements are:

1. Must have a board of volunteers with a minimum of: President, Treasurer, and Secretary.

2. We also recommend other positions to support activities such as fundraising, equipment, and player safety.

3. Have a non-profit status, we can give advice on this.

4. Written request to join via application. 

Note: If the minimum requirements above cannot be met, we will allow them to work under another community’s umbrella for a year. Remember we are flexible so the kids can participate.

What changes is TAFL making to compete with other leagues?

We do not see TAFL as competing with other leagues as a goal.

Michigan, and in particular the areas that TAFL covers, gives our children options. There are enough children looking to play to go around.

We want to make sure we offer a safe and developmental program to all of our participants.

We are keeping our promise for continued developmental football.

We have added flag football to our league to help gain the interest of parents of younger children. 

We have added Tackle Bar, which will be the next step after flag and before adding full tackle football to a child’s development. See Tackle Bar video. 

Game day experience will change to home and away teams only. 

In the past, all teams played on the same location each weekend, which made us one of the largest venues in one locations, outside of tournament style environment. 

In 2022 we will launch Community / Franchise concept to ensure more autonomy with the communities. This will align our league with others and give new teams the flexibility to join our league.
