It may be time for Halloween, but not time to stop playing football.

Anthony Pape

Flag football season is far from over.  Most people may think that the season begins in late August and ends on, or near, Halloween.  Any person, or team, looking to be a part of a legitimate flag football tournament beyond November 1st, need not look any further than the United States Flag & Touch Football League. 

Competitiveness, fun, and challenging are all associated with the various levels of skill offered through the USFTL.  Teams can select which level of competition, they believe, suits them the best.  There are 4 divisions teams can choose from:  A, B, C, and D.

This type of tournament welcomes teams from all over Illinois and even Wisconsin to participate.  Winning teams of each division are allotted "paid for" bids by the USFTL to the National Championship that takes place in Kissimmee, FL in January.

The Chicago tournament takes place the weekend of November 14th and 15th.  Any teams interested should check out the USFTL's website (link above), or register here.

Don't let the falling leaves or change in weather fool you into thinking you have run out of time to quench that competitive thirst for flag football.
