Over a dozen Illinois schools have expressed interest in playing 8-Man football in the near future! If you have thought about it, or know that you are committing in a certain year, please reach out to let us know. 8-Man football is growing in America and it is saving programs across the country. It is now time for Illinois to enjoy the same benefits that the 8-Man game provides.

It gives our kids a chance to play in a competitive situation, and affords us the opportunity to develop our younger players in a safer environment.
