FWFA MAKES BIG CHANGES FOR 2008 < BR>
The Northern California leagues have informed us they will not be sending a representative to the California State Championship this year, and will not compete in the FWFA Championship. Reason is they say its too long a lay off for their champions since the title game is played in July. They plan to hold a Northern California State Championship of their own, and we wish them the best of luck.
The winner of the LaBelle Community Football League, the only true AAA league left in Southern California will have its champion seeded into the FWFA championship game on Saturday, December 6, 2008 in Las Vegas. We are moving the game out of Mesquite. A committee will select the best available team in the West to play in the title game.
ALL-STAR GAME ON SATURDAY,DECEMBER 6TH IN VEGAS
The Western All-Stars will take on the Southern Nevada League All-Stars as part of a double header which includes the FWFA Championship Game. Players interested in playing for the Western All-Stars should request a application by emailing pifl98@aol.com
