The CDFL Mini-Camp and Regular Season
The CDFL Mini-Camp and Regular Season is a hybrid camp-league. Players register for the one week training camp/combine and Stats and player information from this are posted on the CDFL website where college recruiters can view them. At the conclusion of the one week camp/combine, the coaches draft players to their teams. There is no guarantee you will be drafted, it is purely based on your performance. These drafted players make up the league and go on to play games during the season. Additional information and detailed stats, strengths, and game footage for these drafted players will be posted online for all to see. CDFL season champions are announced at the conclusion of each season.
The Mini-Camp/Combine costs $500.00 per player. There is no additional fee for the season, but there is no guarantee that you will be drafted. All players are responsible for their own gear which is available for purchase in our online store.
