Attention All Coaches
If you can coach the Bulls Organization would love to have you. If you are interested in helping coach the Best Minor League team in the CSRA then give Head Coach Al Goode a call @ 706-829-8054. We are looking to increase staff members. All positions are volunteer. We are looking for every type of coach!
We are not a SEMI-PRO team, So please stop calling us that, READ THE ARTICLE!!! Story released by the NAFL
The terms are often linked, and are interchangeable in many conversations, but what is the real difference? Confusion abounds and it is a tough nut to crack, but we are slowly changing the emphasis off of semi-pro and onto Minor League.
The level of sport that is most often associated with the term “semi-pro” would be the teams that pay players to play for their team, but are not at the Professional level. Higher profile examples would be A, AA or AAA baseball, AFL or AF2 and the ABA. There are more examples at a lower level for all sports, but the common thread is that they pay their players to play on their teams.
The term “Minor League” is most commonly associated with amateur athletics. Players on these teams are able to maintain their college eligibility or make the jump to a semi-pro team at the next level. In hockey, the Junior Leagues are considered Minor-League because the players maintain their college eligibility. Look at many college hockey teams and you will see Freshmen that are 21 and 22 years old. At the same time you see professional players that are 18 and 19 that have played Junior League for 2 years before being moved up. The benefit being that they can keep their options open by playing in the Juniors.
The NAFL is one of the Minor League systems that maintains this status. Recognized by both the NCAA and the NFL as an Adult Amateur organization, players enjoy the unique situation of maintaining college eligibility while gaining experience that could get them noticed at the Professional and Semi-Professional levels. There are many examples of players from NAFL teams that have signed professional and semi-professional contracts. Hundreds each year play in the various arena leagues, while there are others who have played in Europe, Canada or even the NFL.
On the flip side of that are the players who enroll in college and play for their respective institutions. Few players and even fewer College Coaches understand that the NAFL is an amateur organization. The Players do not get paid, and by design maintain their amateur status. The NAFL has been, from the beginning, organized as an Adult Amateur League, with the express purpose of promoting the game of football and helping players to reach the next level of competition, be it College, semi-pro or Professional; whichever level the players aspire to.
As the NAFL moves forward, we will continue to maintain our status as a Minor League organization, and promote our players as the best Adult Amateur football players in the world. Our goal will be to raise the level of Minor League Football to become a viable option for non-traditional and “Special Situation” athletes, who desire nothing more than a chance to make their mark in the sport they love.
Bulls continue to build for 2008...
Bulls acquire Tay Santarious
As of today 23 year old Tay Santarious has committed to the Bulls program. He spoke with Coach Al Goode today and stated he has made the move to our area and was referred to our prgram. Tay, a former University of Miami defensive lineman looks to make a huge impact on an already stellar defense. Coach Goode stated that Tay's 6'4 325lb frame will immediately be felt, not to mention he runs a 4.8 in the forty. The Bulls would like to thank Mr. Santarious for choosing our program and stating to Coach Goode that he was referred to us because we get players to the next level and this would give him a huge opportunity to excel.
Attendance to Practices
Just to let each of you know that we have started taking attendance for practices. If you miss more than two practices a month you will not be able to play for this team. We will not tolerate missing practice. There are some instances where you just can't be there, we understand this. However some of you just choose not to show up. This again will not be tolerated. Some of our players drive 50 miles just to get to practice and some of you can't make it and you only live 5 miles away. Thanks to all those that showed up yesterday and the ones that called Coach. You will always be able to view the attendance roster by clicking on it to the left, that way there will not be a discrepancy when you are cut from the roster. We have proven in the past that we would rather go to war with 30 strong soldiers than to pick up the slack of 20!! Thanks JRC
