The Outlaws are coming to town! Creeks Football League (CFL) has adopted the ?Outlaws? as their new association name. Having merged early in 2011, St Johns Sports Association and Creeks Football League are moving forward under one united name. Angelo Vespi, CFL Board president, noted, ?The sole purpose of Creeks Football League has always been?? and continues to be?? to benefit the children of our community. I am pleased that we have come together as a board and as a community to serve young people who are developing football and cheer abilities, as well as leadership and teamwork skills.?
Serving nearly 600 players in St Johns, Florida, CFL met some impressive milestones during the 2011 season. Four out of seven football teams advanced to the city playoffs. Head Coach Don Abbey led the Pee Wee Knights to win the Greater Jacksonville Pop Warner City Championship and to compete through two rounds of regional competition, playing the state?s top teams in Lake City and Tallahassee. This is a first for CFL and great honor for the dedicated coaches and players.
Each of the League?s five cheer teams advanced to regional competition as well. Cheer director Shanna Bragg shared, ?We are so proud of the 160 young women who are dedicated to the sport of cheerleading. We hope to create well-rounded athletes through hard work, dedication, respect and team commitment.?
Beyond athletic accomplishment, CFL promotes academic excellence for young athletes. Creeks Football League players and cheerleaders are consistently recognized with top honors and scholarships at the Annual Greater Jacksonville Pop Warner Scholarship Banquet.
Dedicated to teaching good sportsmanship, teamwork and responsibility, CFL also encourages good citizenship. Attending the County Commissioners meeting in August this year were over 150 players, cheerleaders and coaches who supported the St Johns Recreation & Parks budget request. The budget was approved, but perhaps more importantly, young citizens learned how their voices can make a difference in local government.
The Outlaws association name is new but the League?s mission remains unchanged: Creeks Football League directors, coaches and volunteers will play a key role in positively shaping the lives of promising athletes and future community leaders in St Johns County.
