HISTORY OF SIXMAN FOOTBALL
Stephen Epler, a staff member at Chester High School, Chester Nebraska in 1933, is given credit for creating the modern day concept of Sixman Football. During the depression era, few players and a lack of funds made this concept very appealing to his school. FSFA was patterned after a sixman football program in San Antonio, Texas- created by Miles Sims. You may visit his web site at www.sixman.com.
The Southeastern Christian Association of Sixman Football (formally known as the FSFA, Florida Sixman Football Association), Founded in April 2003, and has brought this wonderful style of football play to Florida. Helping High Schools around the Tampa Bay area get their chance to play football with only little players to do so, and in 6 on 6 you may do so. With the Southeastern Christian Association of Sixman Football bringing this style of football to the Tampa area has changed lives in some small High Schools and Adults.
The Central Florida Sixman Football League (CFSFL) will like to continue the trend that was brought before us and help our forefathers continue their mission in helping small High Schools, and Adults.

Changing Lives
We like to give groups of young adults between the ages of 18 to 26 who just goes and hang out with their friends or other young adults, those who are doing little or nothing to better themselves. Many of these young men are from broken homes and have no directions or role models to follow.
Through our program and programs before us, we have reached a few of these young adults. They are placed on teams with other young and older adults who have been successful. By playing football they are force to be discipline, to establish structure in their lives, they learn to work together as a team for a positive goal, they have learned to respect others, to respect authority, to follow rules, even if you don't like them. Many stop or cut back on hanging out, staying up late, smoking and drinking, doing things that they might regret later on in life, Getting themselves in shape in order to perform at their best. Through their relationship with their coach, who is now that father figure, they are turning their lives around. They now have something positive to feel good about.
College Scholarships
They’re chances in being seen by some College’s that may want to talk to some of these young players. Possibly get a Scholarship to go play football for a College or a shot at trying out for them.
If a player is serious about going to college, we will assist him in preparing a highlight tape, player profile and stats to send to colleges.
We look forward to this challenge to help those who are looking for the help to get that shot that they have been looking for.
We also look forward to the Gentlemen who are looking to just play the game again..
