This organization was formed at the Ludlow Boys Club in 1966 and is known as the Suburban Amateur Football League (SAFL).
The Suburban Amateur Football League, SAFL serves the youth of Western MA. in grades 3 to 8.
The SAFL endorses the concept of maximum athlete participation at all levels of play in the league. The SAFL encourages and enables youth to benefit from
participating in football in a safe and structured environment. Throughout our league we teach sportsmanship, fundamentals, teamwork, skills and knowledge that youth will use throughout their
lives.

Umass Head Coach Mark Whipple and his staff will host the clinic. Prizes of practice equipment will be given out. This is a great opportunity for the coaches in the SAFL.

A student athlete has the right to voice their first amendment right and protest the National Anthem in a respectful way. Kneeling, sitting, etc... quietly is appropriate and their right. Even though viewpoints may vary, it is important to note that this is a form of protective speech. At no point, can a coach hand/issue out any discipline in relation to this or any matter pertaining to an individual's right.
