The Outreach Tackle Football League in Naples, Florida has expanded this year. Last year the First Baptist Church of Naples team "The Beacons" had one opponent in three divisions. They faced Pee Wee, Junior, and Senior teams from the Marco Island Eagles. This year there are also teams in two divisions from Community School of Naples, where Junior and Senior division teams have been fielded. Community School has also adapted their soccer field for Football games, including this past week's installation of Goal Posts.
Coach (and youth Pastor) Kevin VanDuser of FBCN said that the league is very likely to expand again next year. He said he had to turn away 50 players this season, and is already planning on ordering equipment for at least that many more players next year. He also has had serious interest expressed from other existing youth teams in the area to join the Outreach league.
The teams play their games on Saturday mornings, and this week I took photos of some Junior Division games at the Community School field. I hope to get to some Pee Wee and Senior Division games on future visits.
