2008 JFL MONDAY
NIGHT FOOTBALL
Youth football, coming to a neighborhood near you. STL TV, the City of St. Louis’ local government access channel, was excited to partner with the St. Louis Junior Football League to produce and televise the 2008 “JFL Monday Night Games.” The games are shown on Charter cable channels in the City of St. Louis and St. Louis County. The JFL organization picks the best rivalries within the league, which features players 7 to 14 year old. STL TV provides network-quality broadcasts of these games, complete with two play-by-play announcers, instant replays and even the head shots that introduce the players. The 2008 JFL Monday Night Football kicked off on September 22nd and ran for 10 weeks. The JFL was founded in 1960 to give children between the ages of 7 and 14 the opportunity to play organized tackle football. Each year, the JFL organization teams up with youth sports organizations to provide good fundamental coaching for more than 3000 youths within the metro area. The St. Louis Junior Football League is a registered non-profit organization made up entirely of volunteers from within the St. Louis Metropolitan area. Our sponsors include Bommarito Automotive Group, Ranken Technical College, Carpenter's District Council of Greater St. Louis and Vicinity, American Family Insurance, St. Louis Job Corps, End Zone 4 Life and 590 KFNS The Fan.

COMMENTS "When I first saw myself on television, I was like wow-surprised!
Really thinking 'is that Chantell making that beautiful catch, that
beautiful dive, that beautiful tackle, is that really me?” "I feel like the coverage that STL TV provided for the
Junior Football League was great. I think it gave our kids a sense of
one day they can be on TV and possibly play in the NFL and be featured
in that manner. It's a great opportunity." "The support here is phenomenal. We try to take advantage
of it. We have a long partnership with JFL, as we did with the other
leagues. It was our pleasure." "The Bommarito automotive group has always been a big
sponsor of JFL football. In particular what it teaches the kids growing
up - the skills, the loyalty, the love of the game. They really do teach
a true football skill." |
