incredible,” admitted Giroux. Where will the league go from here? That’s the big question, as Giroux hopes the expansion will continue due to the imme- diate success. He hopes to add a 15-17 year old divi- sion in the spring of 2013 for his youth league, as the cutoff currently ends at 15 years of age. He also hopes to implement a youth league next summer, with players from the Lakes Re- gion taking part as well as kids spending their sum- mer on vacation. “We’re hoping to make this more of a feeder pro- gram as well,” he ex- plained. “I’ve talked to some of the high school coaches in the area to help us develop some practice programs. So when you get these kids that want to move on to tackle football, you’ve got them three- quarters of the way trained and ready to go.” Registration for the fall youth leagues will contin- ue through Sept. 5, with signups taking place com- pletely online at the league’s Web site www.lrf- fl.com.
