Description:
The States Developmental Football League was established in 2012 by Garrick Jones and Byron Clay. Both having backgrounds in professional sports and business they came up with a concept that combine the two! For so long professional sports leagues have focused on the game play, with very little emphasis on life after the lights. We at the SDFL have changed that thought process. Since establishment, we have beta tested each area of revenue generation, to test what works, and what didn't work. We wanted to test each scenario in order to put the best product on the field as well as in the field of business. By taking our time we have been able to weed out programs, people, and organizations that would not last in our equation. The States Developmental Football League’s key principals are professional development on and off the field. Our athletes, cheer teams, and staff as a whole will have the opportunity to be prepared in business so that once the regulation game is over they have a fighting chance. We place emphasis on the areas the other leagues don't. Those areas we speak of, are business and financial literacy. The components of business, laced with financial teachings are paramount for our athletes, as the game of football is a brief blurb compared to life after football.
