A League for Winners
Where most recreational leagues want to down play the competitive nature to win. Gridiron believes that it is this nature, this attitude (win-win) that has made and continues to make this nations (United States of America) of ours so great. This is not a league for the mediocre player, but for those individuals who want to succeed, triumph and achieve all that life has to offer. Winning is everything in the game of life and it is this attitude that makes playing football so much fun. Gridiron players do not suppress their attitude to win, they embrace it.
Our goal is simply. We will start our inaugural season in Tampa,Fl in '09 and begin to establish franchise sites (hosting 8 to 10 teams) across the state Florida establishing conferences and divisions culminating at the end with a State Championship and All Star game for players to show case their talents.
If you believe you have what it takes to showcase your talent and skills at the local and state level, than "Take It To The Grid!!"

Gridiron Football Define
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gridiron football (or more commonly, just "gridiron") is a term used in some countries outside North America to refer to both American football and Canadian football, two closely related games directly descended from rugby football. The term refers to the sport's characteristic field of play, which is marked with a series of parallel lines resembling a gridiron.
According to certain early rules of American football, some fields were painted with square-like "grids" of demarcation. The ball would be snapped in the grid in which it was downed on the previous play. This was abandoned in favor of the system of yard lines and hash marks now used. An example of a field that was painted with such a grid pattern is the old Archbold Stadium at Syracuse University, which has since been torn down.[1]
The word gridiron alone may refer either to the field or to the sport; however, in North America it is mostly used in reference to the field, usually in a somewhat figurative or poetic sense. In some other English-speaking countries—particularly Australia and New Zealand—it is the primary term used to refer to the sport, differentiating it from other forms of football such as Australian football, association football (soccer), rugby league, and rugby union[2] . Other nations, such as the United Kingdom, use the term American football.

"It's Time To Take It To The Grid"
So who are the Gridirons? The Gridiron Football League is a highly competitive, full contact club committed to the development of athletes with an aspiration to further their careers in the professional indoor football arena. Unlike most traditional semi pro leagues who play an eleven-man style game, the GFL believes that it is the six-man and/or the eight-man style of football that will better assit an athlete transitions from outdoor to indoor.
