In the United States alone, there are more than six hundred teams throughout over fifty leagues that refer to themselves as semi-professional or minor league football teams. Player experience varies between high school, college, and professional players. Because the majority of these players are not paid for their time on the field, they show up at practice and on game day simply for the love of the game. Not only are they not paid, but they are often required to purchase their own equipment, transportation, and lodging. A lucky few will get the opportunity to shine in front of scouts and be selected to move up to the (paid) professional ranks.
It is the intent of the Gulf Coast Football Association (GCFA) to provide opportunity and challenge to semi-professional football teams to take a giant step forward and adjust their team and player attitude to reflect the professional attitude that the GCFA represents.
