T.A.F.L. is a non-profit full pad tackle football and cheerleading league that offers 3 divisions. Note this is different than in the past. They are defined as 2nd/3rd Grade (140lb max, 110lb ball carrier weight), 4th/5th Grade (170 lb max, 140 lb ball carrier weight), 6th/7th Grade (unlimited weight, 200 + pounds have to play offensive line only) in six defined communities. We also offer a cheerleading program in each participating community. T.A.F.L. is now a proud member of the Amateur Athletic Union (A.A.U).

It is the vision and goal of T.A.F.L. to grow and organize a league of 1000+ participants. Games will be played on a number of different fields at participating communities. Potentially, teams will be split into regions with the various regional winners playing in an ultimate league championship.

The purpose of this organization is to provide and promote, through properly qualified guidance and supervision, clean and wholesome youth football and cheerleading programs in the greater thumb area of Michigan. Our aim is not to compete with the local school districts, but to complement them. It is the intent of this league to teach basic skills of football and cheerleading. We teach proper conduct and sportsmanship to positively affect the development of our children.
