Hi - As Butters said about GLLL - just bring up any ideas at the meeting or email me at hjr@chorus.net and I can forward to the teams . We just need to vote on it at the meeting . I just have 1 vote .
Personally I'm fine going to an NCAA type format with a few exceptions [ such as matching gear - I really like teams to have matching gear , but if a player can't afford a new helmet I'd still want him to be able to play until he does . ] Also we use 2 refs to save money , and do not limit years of eligibility or get into school /grade/ credit issues . There are probably a few others we should look at before we vote . It would help us in interleague play .
GLLL teams can play teams in other leagues . You just have to schedule them around the league schedule - I think it's a great idea . I can help you get refs if you are hosting . The weather and the short spring made it difficult this year .
At this point NIU or the Chicago teams are as southern as we get . We are open to new teams so contact me if you are looking to start one . 608 772 4298.
Let me know if you have any ideas for improvement for the GLLL - we're very open to evolving the league .
