ABOUT THE NAFL
The North American Football League is a self sustaining level of adult football that allows players to develop their skills or simply participate for the love of the game. Although we market it as a minor league, it is recognized as an amateur league and a developmental league for colleges and the pros. This type of incite and vision is consistent with the entire structure of the NAFL.

The NAFL is entering into its ninth season of existence. League President, Robert F. Licopoli, began this endeavor when he realized that there are tens of thousands of people involved in semi pro and adult football throughout the United States. Each group was operating independently of each other. Mistakes were being repeated year in and year out. One of the goals of Licopoli was to create a best practices guide and educate team owners about how to operate a team successfully. In less than 5 years the NAFL proved itself and is quickly becoming recognized as a viable developmental league for the colleges and pros. Licopoli dropped the name semi pro, because the term itself includes the word pro and contradicted the amateur status of the league. Licopoli’s leadership has also proven to be invaluable to executives and coaches at all levels of football.

The NAFL maintains a national presence with over 120 teams. Communication is maintained with its 4 conferences, 8 regions, 32 divisions and its almost 6,000+ members on a regular basis. The post season playoff bracket contains America’s top teams where they compete for the national championship title. The NAFL’s goal is to franchise its teams and become the McDonalds of minor league football. In its' first year, the NAFL accomplished the primary goal of creating a national playoff structure. This is remarkable due to the fact that it expected to take 5 years to accomplish this task! The next step was to raise capital necessary to pay for playoff travel for teams that make post season play. The NAFL is an official partner of the NFL Alumni caring for kids. The league teams, players, coaches, cheerleaders and staff dedicate their time to giving back to local communities. Local communities benefit from fund-raisers, donations and youth clinics for children at risk.
