News and Announcements

For your convenience, there is now a new “Standings” dropdown in the top menu of this website. On any page, you can click “Standings” in the top menu to access links to Division 1 standings and Division 2 standings. When you click one of the links in the dropdown, you will be taken to the division’s page with the division’s standings prominently placed at the top of the main content area on that page. This should make it easier than ever to check on the standings for a division. And remember, we do not keep score for Division 3 games, so there is not a standings page for Division 3.

Also new is the “Schedules” dropdown in the top menu. On any page, you can click “Schedules” in the top menu to access links to the schedules for each division.

On a somewhat related note, we have had to reenter the league schedules. Currently, we have the first week entered, along with scores. The remaining weeks schedules should be reentered within a day or two.

See the ‘Register Online’ link in the menu at the top of this page. If you choose to register online, you must also pay online at the time you submit the online registration form using a credit card, debit card, or PayPal. Remember, even if you register and pay online, you still need to complete and submit the DIFL Physical Form for each participant. Also, you still need to attend one of the on-site registration events so that your football player or cheerleader can be sized for their gear and/or uniform.
