We are excited to announce the formation of Select Football for the 2021 season.  Adding Select football to our already healthy Flag and Youth Tackle leagues will ensure a home for every athlete, at every skill level.  A "Select Team" is a team composed of players that are selected durning or after an evaluation or try out process.  This differs from Park and Rec, where players are assigned teams based on a league approved draft process.  Members of the GFA must meet the requirements set forth before they will be eligible to offer a Select team.  Select Football will only be offered for 4th, 5th, and 6th grades.  Each league member or park, sets there own evaluation / try out date.  You must be registered with an approved member of the GFA before you will be allowed to tryout to play football for a select team.  If you played in the GFA last season and plan to move parks to play Select football for another member of our league, you will need to complete the Select Football - Exemption form.  This can be found under the ABOUT tab.  Scroll down and click on the DOWNLOADS tab in the menu.  For more information surrounding Select Football and the GFA, please contact your programs Board of Directors or President.
