WHAT LEAGUE IS YOUR TEAM PLAYING IN AND TEXAS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP?
THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION AS THE PRE SEASON TO THE USUAL TEXAS BASED SEMI PRO AND MINOR LEAGUE TEAMS IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
LEAGUES ARE TRYING TO PUT FINISHING TOUCHES ON THEIR CONFIRMED MEMBERSHIPS AS TEAMS CAN'T SEEM TO DECIDE WHICH LEAGUE TO PARTICIPATE IN. SOME TEAMS ARE ON A FENCE BUT YET LEANING STRONGLY TO ONE SIDE.
THERE ARE SO MANY QUESTIONS WHEN JOINING A LEAGUE THAT RANGE IN SUBJECTS FROM FINANCING, TRAVEL, PERSONNEL, EXPECTATIONS, MEDIA, AND OF COURSE THE GOOD OLD WHAT DO WE GET IN RETURN. ITS WRITTEN THIS WAY BECAUSE THE NEED FOR A RETURN DOESN'T HAVE TO BE MONETARY IT CAN BE JUST PLAIN GOOD MANAGEMENT OF LEAGUE SPONSORED EVENTS.
CURRENTLY THESE ARE SPRING LEAGUES WANTING TEXAS TEAMS OR OUT OF STATE TEAMS TO JOIN THEM:
IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:
GCFA- GULF COAST FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION
TUFL - TEXAS UNITED FOOTBALL LEAGUE
TUFA - TEXAS UNITED FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION
STAFL- SOUTH TEXAS AMATEUR FOOTBALL LEAGUE
MPFL- MINOR PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE
NMLF- NATIONAL MINOR LEAGUE FOOTBALL
TSWLFA- TEXAS SOUTH WEST LOUISIANA FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION
EFL - ELITE FOOTBALL LEAGUE
REGIONAL INDOOR FOOTBALL LEAGUE
SO THERE'S AT LEAST 9 LEAGUES WANTING YOUR TEAMS TO BE A PART OF THEIR LEAGUE.
THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 8 LEAGUES PLAYING 11 MAN REGULATION FOOTBALL, OUTDOORS.
THUS THE QUESTION TO ALL THESE LEAGUES. WHY NOT FORM A TEXAS MINOR LEAGUE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION? THE ASSOCIATION DOESN'T SEEK OWNERSHIP OR MANAGING YOUR SPECIFIC LEAGUES. THE ASSOCIATION WOULD WORK TOWARD CROWNING A TEXAS STATE CHAMPION AND CREATING THE TEXAS MINOR LEAGUE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME.
THE COST TO BE A MEMBER WOULD BE 0 (ZERO), YET YOUR LEAGUE WOULD HAVE INPUT INTO EVENTS PERTAINING TO A TEXAS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AND TEXAS MINOR LEAGUE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME.
PLAYERS SHOULD ASK THEIR RESPECTIVE LEAGUES TO BECOME A PART OF THIS.
INITIALLY THE LONE STAR MINOR LEAGUE FOOTBALL NEWS IS SET TO HAVE A TEXAS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME IN 2010. YES, THERE WILL BE A TEXAS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY. OTHER EVENTS ARE IN PLANNING STAGES AND WILL BE DISCLOSED AS TIME GETS CLOSER.
CANCELLATION OF THE AUSTIN MEETING DOESN'T MEAN THE EVENT WILL NOT BE HELD. LSMLFNEWS ASKED AND LISTENED ABOUT THE SCHEDULING OF THE GAME. TEAM PREFERENCES ARE TO PLAY A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AFTER THEIR LEAGUE SEASONS HAVE COMPLETED PLAY, AND ALSO TO ALLOW ONLY LEAGUE CHAMPIONS FROM THE STATE OF TEXAS TO ENTER THE PLAYOFFS FOR A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.
