2020 Schedule
Dear NJFL Franchise Members and Families,
The NJFL Executive Committee has unanimously agreed to cancel the Fall 2020 football season. The decision was based on several factors including, but not limited to, the WIAA’s announcement establishing new sport seasons for the 2020-2021 school year and Governor Inslee’s statement putting an indefinite hold on moving forward in the phasing process.
Should the Governor make any exemption for youth sports by Sept. 30, 2020, we have agreed to come together as a board and see how viable it would be to have a season.
Franchises have autonomy to work on alternative activities for the rest of 2020. We will discuss scenarios for the 2021 season at our regular board meeting on August 10. This was a very difficult decision. We believe our approach was right and would have been successful if trends would have continued.
While this effectively ends our 2020 season, our mission-to provide an environment that builds outstanding character and promotes participant safety and the highest levels of good sportsmanship for our youth-remains true.
We wish you all the best and hope everyone is staying safe and healthy,
NJFL Executive Committee
