ST. JOHN, U.S. Virgin Islands, November 14, 2011 – Get ready for some football! The St. John Football Association has opened registration for the upcoming 2012 Men’s Flag Football League. The season is set to begin on Friday January 13^th at the Winston Wells Ball Field with an exciting opening ceremony. All interested coaches and team captains must attend a mandatory meeting on November 22^nd at the Parks & Recreation Building in Cruz Bay at 7:30pm. Registration and roster forms will be handed out as well as league rules. Teams must have a minimum of 12 players and a maximum of 20. There will be a mandatory follow-up meeting held on December 6th in the Parks & Recreation building at 7:30pm to field any questions about the upcoming league as well as to collect rosters and registration fees.

The St. John Football Association was recently formed to spearhead the growth of the league and to increase the professionalism, organization, and impact that the league has on the community. In addition to the adult league there is also an 8-15 year old youth league that runs concurrently with the adult league. The mission of the Association is to provide an exciting alternative for young men in the community that may promote a productive and healthy lifestyle. We are determined to manage, serve and promote the game of football in the area, at all levels of play. We aim to provide an enjoyable, competitive and team orientated sporting program where students and adults can interact with each other and consequently assist with the physical and emotional development of young men in our community. All participants are encouraged to adhere to good lifestyle habits to help them achieve their full potential. Our program encourages discipline and more importantly, self discipline. We promote pride and success by fair and honest means, an appreciation for diversity, and a sense of good sportsmanship both on and off the field.

“We’re excited for a new season”, stated Brummell Germain, Association President. “With the formation of the St. John Football Association, the league will now have a way to fundraise as well as organize community service activities for both the kids and adults participating in the league.” The STJFA will be offering community service hours to students for their assistance with games and their involvement in community service activities. A scholarship will also be awarded to a high school senior that participates in the league who excels on the field and in the classroom.

Any interested players/teams or sponsors may contact the Association at 340-774-3282 or via email at st.johnfootball@gmail.com.
