FAQ's
FAQ's About THE LEAGUE:
-What does the time commitment look like to participate in THE LEAGUE?
Our schedule features practices on Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons in April, and as we transition into May, we'll keep the momentum going with practices on Saturdays and exciting games on Sundays. We’ve crafted this league with the understanding that many of our talented athletes are multi-sport stars, allowing them to juggle other spring sports while honing their football skills with us at Elite Football Clinics. And don’t worry—while we love commitment, 100% attendance isn’t mandatory, so you can relax and enjoy the journey without the pressure.
-Can I play another Sport and participate in THE LEAGUE?
Absolutely most LEAGUE players play another spring sport! See above for the schedule, you will find playing a spring sport is very doable with THE LEAGUE!
-What about injuries?
In THE LEAGUE we hire the very best coaches that teach the most modern and safest techniques. We will have medical staff on hand at each practice and at games (including Doctors). Most importantly we "practice smart" and limit the contact in practice settings to minimize getting bumps and bruises. Our games are refereed by the very best refs around and control games. We also have specialty rules around contact including no cutting or crack back blocks of any type and we also do not allow for full contact with the QB. We take this part very seriously and have a great track record here!
-Will I get film/recruited?
Absolutely! The transformative power of professional game film is one of the most vital aspects of THE LEAGUE! Every game is meticulously filmed and uploaded to Hudl, granting each player full access to this invaluable resource, which can significantly enhance their recruitment journey. College coaches are eager to review this game film and frequently attend LEAGUE practices and games to scout talent. This unique opportunity not only propels your recruitment efforts but also allows you to showcase your skills against elite competition on an equal footing. We invite you to explore our Commits page, where you can discover inspiring success stories from athletes who have benefited from their experience with us.

-What are the costs?
League Cost: For the second consecutive season, we are proud to say that we are keeping the cost of the league under $1000. Compared to other youth organizations that charge 3 to 4 times the price (club soccer and lacrosse, AAU baseball and basketball, and various hockey leagues), we are a fraction of the price of what those leagues charge. Add the fact that we are using professional coaches, playing at the best possible sites, with college referees, this is a great product for the price.
Our season tuition is $995, which includes:
- 2 months of top notch field rentals for practices and games
- Paid coaching staffs consisting of former/current NCAA coaches and players (no parent volunteers; real coaches!)
- College D1 FBS referees for every game
- certified trainers at every practice
