Empire Football League News & Highlights EMPIRE FOOTBALL LEAGUE SUPPORTS PLAY FOOTBALL MONTH CELEBRATION FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Empire Football League Email: empirefoot@aol.com Website: www.empire-football-league.com/ PLAY FOOTBALL MONTH is a celebration of the great sport of football, and it�s coming to your community sponsored by the Empire Football League (see events below). From Pro-Football Hall of Fame Quarterback Dan Marino to NASA Astronaut Michael Bloomfield, football has played an important role in the lives of many young boys and girls along with their communities. �Last year, more than 12 million boys and girls played football, giving them a chance to learn a great deal about themselves, about life, and about getting along with people of other races, religions, and nationalities,� said USA Football Chairman JACK KEMP. �Play Football Month celebrates these values learned on the gridiron, as well as the tradition of the community coming together from Friday night lights to Monday Night Football.� Throughout PLAY FOOTBALL MONTH, events will be held in towns across America, including clinics, skills competitions, scrimmages, picnics, and parades. Youth football organizations, schools, communities, and NFL and college teams will take part in the celebrations. �Getting youngsters involved in football encourages them to be active, and the lessons they learn on the field go far beyond the fundamentals of the game. They learn to tackle life�s challenges,� said NFL Commissioner PAUL TAGLIABUE. �It�s important that we celebrate what the game of football provides for our children and our communities.� �Without the opportunity of participating in youth football, most professional football players would not have had the chance to play in the National Football League,� said GENE UPSHAW, NFL Players Association Executive Director. �All NFL players, past and present, owe a great debt to youth coaches and other volunteers who made football a positive, life-affirming experience. Play Football Month reminds all of us what a great game football is for all ages.� The Empire Football League supports youth through various programs and are proud to join with USA Football in sponsoring events throughout Play Football Month. Join the celebration and be part of the Football Family! For more information on PLAY FOOTBALL MONTH, visit www.usafootball.com/PlayFootballMonth. Play Football Month is a national campaign created by USA Football, the NFL, and NFL Players Association.
