Divisions 2-4 in the men’s and women’s divisions may play the undercard to the top flight, but they certainly do not lack anything in terms of importance or intensity.  Old champions in Calgary and San Diego rode again, while the ever growing footy programs in Portland and Quebec raised cups for the very first time on that hallowed weekend in October.

To win a Division 1 championship at the USAFL Nationals, it takes a combination of skill, perseverance, and, dare it is said, a bit of luck,

In the summer of 1835, the legendary frontiersman Davy Crockett was defeated in his bid for reelection to congress.  When he left his native state of Tennessee, he told a group of his former constituents, “you may all go to hell, and I will go to Texas.”

2015’s footy season has been yet another arduous journey, formed and fashioned on grounds big and small across America.  Through the cold and thaw of spring, into the broiling summer sun, and now into the rustic scent of fall, teams toiled through trainings, local competitions, and battles against opponents near and far.
