About the North Carolina Spring Football LeagueThe mission guiding the formation of the NSFL was to provide boys and girls with the opportunity to enjoy competitive football in a controlled environment. The league was successfully initiated in 2009 with our first season of Spring football. It remains our desire to build a competitive program offering contact football to boys and girl throughout the state.
The NSFL's current format includes football in the spring, football camps in the summer, and contact football in the fall. All league teams and camps are coached with an emphasis on Christ-like sportsmanship. Coaches and players are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that demonstrates a commitment to building a league based on principles.
We feel the NSFL has tremendous potential to establish a format that can be used to build similar programs throughout the state. We have been astounded by God's willingness to bless this program. With no forethought, we started spring football with 4 teams in the spring of 2009. When we began to promote the 2010 season, we expected about the same turnout. Instead of the 4 to 5 teams we expected, God blessed the league with 10 football teams. By the spring of this year, the NSFL consisted of around 1250 Players who are now responsible for the establishment of the league.
The North Carolina Spring Football League is committed to helping foster stronger father and son relationships. Each season, we schedule events like our Father and Son Game and our Kick, Punt, Pass Competition. These special occasions have been a tremendous success and highlight the difference between the NSFL and other secular leagues. We invite the entire family to join us on these fantastic days!
As we continue to build the league, we will base our development, conduct, and decisions on the principles of the Christian faith lived out in the life of Jesus Christ, our Savior.

2012 Spring Contact Football SeasonThe Spring Football League will kickoff its 2012 season of contact football , February with a two-week conditioning program. The program is designed to help condition the young men participating in the fall contact programs and allow coaches to assess the skill level of each player. We will play 5 regular game schedule, with 2 weeks of playoffs for the top seeds. This conditioning program should provide a great foundation for the fall season of contact football, which officially starts on, August 2012. The conditioning program is strongly recommended for players of all ages, but families are not required to participate as a prerequisite to joining us for contact football.
Football practices will begin February 2012 for all age groups in all locations. Each location will hold practices on evenings throughout the season.

Practices will be conducted on weekday evenings with games being played on Saturdays. The practice schedule is also listed below by age group. A complete season schedule will be emailed to each family once the team distribution lists have been created. The frequency of our practices differs by age bracket.
