Lake Zurich Flames Now in NWYFL League

The Lake Zurich Flames Football program has moved to a new league, Northwest Youth Football League NWYFL (www.NWYFL.org). 

“We made the move after a long off season process of reviewing our current league affiliation and researching and interviewing the other options in the area. The current board felt this was the best fit for our players and families at the current time,” said Keith Mescha, Flames board member.  “We are looking forward to some new competition and a fresh experience for everyone. The biggest benefit with the smaller league is that we are now able to focus more on our own players, coaches, and parents and not have to deal with all the overhead of a larger league.”
