This weekend myself Grizo, Grizchick and another friend went and watched the Missoula Raptors play. It is called a Semi-pro team and the play though not bad was still not all that polished. but what the hell it was something to do and have beers with Grizo, even though he drinks crap :D So the question is do these types of leagues exist where you guys live, and how is the quality of play?
Here is some info on the league here...
RMFL MISSION STATEMENT
The Rocky Mountain Football League (RMFL) is established to provided competitive, entertaining, recreational tackle football play for adult (18 and over) players at all levels of playing skills in the Rocky Mountain Region of the United States of America.
The RMFL was developed with the philosophy that sportsmanship, team-building and simple opportunity to play football for average to star players are its underlying principles and objectives and all other league goals shall be subservient.
The RMFL will continue to govern itself through a Managing Board, consisting of equal team representation, managed by a commissioner, hired by the RMFL Managing Board, and shall continue to support the principles of enfranchisement within any team from the Rocky Mountain area that chooses to participate in the RMFL and agrees to be subject to its govern ship and rules.
Further, the RMFL and its representative teams shall work to be a positive force in their respective communities providing free or low-cost entertainment in the form of a community team that area residents can support and take pride in.
RMFL HISTORY
The Rocky Mountain Football League (RMFL) was established in the Spring of 1997 - originally based in Pocatello, Idaho - by it's first "commissioner", Matt Culbertson. Culbertson, who through his 3-year tenure as commissioner actually disdained the title of "commissioner" and merely saw himself as a facilitor of adult football in the Southeast Idaho area. His vision saw the possibilities of league expansion into other realms of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada or Utah, however, the focus of the original Rocky Mountain Football league was not necessarily to "expand", make money or even grow in reputation, it was simply to provide an opportunity for local area football players to continue their careers, or in some situations, begin careers in the greater Rocky Mountain area. It was established as a Fall football league so that players could be playing football.... during "Football Season". In the interim, however, the Rocky Mountain Football League has grown and has gained in reputation and has began to settle in as a Spring Football League.
