Any Semi-Pro team that is not a member in good standing with the AFA is doing their team a disservice.

Operating under the umbrella of the AFA's non-profit tax exempt corporation, the American Football Association has begun issuing "Charters" to team, regional and state alumni organization who qualify for official Alumni Club status. During their first 38 years of existence, the Elmhurst Travelers forged a record of 292 wins, 79 losses, 29 ties and 11 undefeated seasons; they averaged 8 wins per season. In 1967 after 40 years of existence, George Kulton (AFA HoF Class of '86) owner and coach of the Elmhurst Travelers semi-pro football team retired and sold the franchise to Rockford, Illinois then becoming the Rockford Rams. Please note picture of Elmhurst Travelers Jackets. Stars indicate "championships" and "bursts" indicate teams played for/awards. These jackets can be provided for any team, colors make no difference. If anyone is interested in pricing, please contact Jerry Schropp (jerrys0120@sbcglobal.net) at 847-364-9348. We want to congratulate the chartered Elmhurst Travelers Alumni Organization which was organized by Roman Strzala (romanstrzala@juno.com) Hall of Fame Class of 2002. This newly formed alumni club has established a set of by-laws and has developed a process for submitting nominees to the AFA's Hall of Fame. We use this organization as a model and best practice for how to establish Alumni Clubs. A separate website is being setup to recognize Alumni Clubs as we continue to grow our network of semi pro alumni. How To Start An Alumni Club AFA Misrepresentations We continue to focus our attention on organizations that have characterized themselves as associates of the American Football Association………American Football News Today, the Ron Real Trophy, the American Football Hall of Fame, the Minor Pro Hall of Fame, Minor League Football News Hall of Fame, etc. As a result of this and previous incidents, the AFA Board of Directors and family of the late Ron Real want to formally state for the record that these groups/initiatives are unauthorized and have nothing to do with the AFA, the AFA Semi-pro Football Hall of Fame or the AFA's American Football News™ created by the late Ron Real, founder of the AFA. We plan to continue this message in an effort to eliminate confusion, alert the national media, and to further protect the organization, the Real Family, and the general public at large.
