T.A.F.L. is a non-profit full pad tackle football and cheerleading league open to all youths ages 7-13. Our program offers each community up four age divisions. They are defined as 7-8, 9-10, 11-12 and 7th Grade 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.
