Top 10 Reasons to Bring your League to the MCFFU

The MCFFU Staff

1. National Support From 2 National Organizations.  We want to work with you to market flag football across the country, and to get corporate sponsorship and media attention.  Sponsors want to see how large of a market the MCFFU offers, and we understand the loyalty teams have with their leagues, directors and tournaments. Therefore your league will have 100% support of the largest flag football organization (MCFFU) and the largest recreational organization (USSSA).  With a national presences in 43 states, you will be part of the single largest network in flag football.
2. Your league is your league;  And your tournaments are your tournaments.  We don’t want to tell you how to run your league.  You know what works for you and for the teams in your area.  All areas are unique and attempting to operate them all the same simply does not work.  Therefore, only you have an idea of what's best for your area, which is why your services are required by the Union (you are an independent entity within a larger organization).  By improving your product at the league and tournament level, the overall quality of the game will improve.
3. Tournament profits are yours.You do the background work.  You spend the time getting the tournament together, and recruiting the teams.  You deserve to reap the rewards of your hard work and reputation.  The MCFFU is working to attract corporate sponsors at the national level; we don’t want to take from what you’ve worked so hard for.  By keeping more revenue flowing into your league, you have flexibility to improve what you’ve worked hard to create.  We also understand that keeping a limited number of tournaments regionally, encourages more teams to attend each one.   Larger tournaments mean better competition, which is good for the game.
4. The Union will offer you more opportunities than any other organizaton in the biz. The Union wants to help each league develop both their leagues and business opportunities.  Our programs are designed to not only help you grow your leagues and tournaments, but to assist in generating more revenue through products and sponsorships.  Our program is by far the best in the biz! 
5. Your teams will get more.  As the MCFFU grows,so will the opportunities for you and your teams.  Want to travel to a tournament? Need new uniforms or gear?  With our METRO COMPETITOR DISCOUNT CARD, which also allows you to offer 40-50% off NIKE products and other programs offered by the MCFFU/USSSA!   As the number of Union participants grows, so will the discounts offered to our teams and players.  By working together, prices go down for everyone. 
6. The MCFFU wants Flag Football to improve as a game.  The MCFFU is not tied to the status quo.  We are constantly examining our business practices, our on-field rules, and we want to continue to grow the game of flag.  We believe the way to grow is to improve the product by making it as accessible to the public as we can, correct our mistakes, and listen to new ideas.  We are customer-driven, which means we can go as far as our teams take us.  What can we do to make it better?
7. We want your input!  We are trying to bring flag football together.  In order to do that, we want you to be an active participant in deciding what the Union needs to do to be successful.  This includes developing our tournament calendar, addressing on-field issues, and improving our organization and administration.  We want to hear what you have to say, because we realize that we don’t have all the answers.  We also realize that we will not agree on everything, but by having open conversations the MCFFU and its teams will always be on the same page.
8. Your teams can develop through different levels of play, and by simplifying the styles we can create a game that translates globally.  Each region in the US has it’s own favorite style of play, and our teams are fiercely loyal to what they are accustomed.   We offer four styles of play: no contact (4-man), semi-contact (5 and 8-man), eligible (8-man), and ineligible (9-man).  By limiting the styles, we believe the difference in play from one location to the next will be limited, which will encourage teams from different regions to compete, under one set of rules.  The MCFFU also understands that not every player could make an NFL roster.  We offer three levels of play for each style: Pro, Competitive, and Recreational.  Build your team through the ranks against teams of similar talent-level.  How do we keep teams from playing in the wrong level? By giving different prizes to each level, teams are encouraged to move through the ranks.
9. As a Union, media exposure is available.  With national sponsors, comes national and regional attention.  Not only does it increase our visibility for sponsors, but also the game improves when there are more participants.  We’ve already worked with ESPNRadio and have other projects in the works.  The sky is the limit for the relationship between flag football and the media.
10. The MCFFU is the players’ union.  We are flag football players, fans, coaches and league directors.  We love this game, and we want our game to grow from coast to coast.  We are tired of the dictatorships, and the divisive nature that we’ve become accustomed to with the current organizations.  The Union believes that if the independent leagues speak with a collective voice on important issues affecting the game; assist teams organizationally and technically and coordinate league and tournament development with national teams and organizations, flag football will continue to grow as a beloved part of the American psyche.

We are constantly looking for new partners across the country to team with.  Our organization is growing quickly, and your organizations will be a great fit with the Union.  We are looking for qualified webmasters, State Directors, Area directors, and Head Officials.
