The CDFL | Collegiate Development Football League » League News http://www.playcdfl.com Welcome to the Collegiate Development Football League (CDFL). We are extremely excited about the opportunities that await all in the first ever organized football league designed exclusively for 18-24 year-old players. The CDFL mission is bold, to provide a second chance opportunity for serious and committed post-high school aged football players. The CDFL provides that chance and supports it with experienced coaches, dedicated staff and superior facilities, all combined with an unprecedented approach to player skill assessments: from the mini-camp combine, to the CDFL draft, to wide open games, to player focused academic and recruitment tools. Take the first step to fulfill your dreams, be great with us, explore the website, interact on the blog, contact us with questions, but most of all be ready to be part of the CDFL explosion in 2009!
