Welcome to the Utah Indoor/Arena Football League! The UIFL is the oldest and largest semi-pro recreational Indoor/Arena football league in the country! The league has been in existence since 1998. This is our 11th year anniversary! The UIFL is a non-profit organization registered with the State of Utah.
The UIFL mission statement is simple: to allow quality football players to continue playing professionally organized football after high school, college, and pro careers may be over. Many players continue to develop their talents and move to the next level of football in the quest to reach the goals they have set for themselves. After 11 years, the list is long on young men that have gone on to successful careers in College, CFL, AFL and the NFL.

The Utah Bulls will no longer play in the UIFL after the owner and team coach Brian Tracy had failed to turn in all of the Utah Bulls players fees for the UIFL 2010 season.
Brian Tracy and the Bulls Management have been fined $1000 dollars for damages to the UIFL 2010 season and until they pay that fine and all of the remaining Utah Bulls 2010 players fees that they still owe they are banned from owning, coaching, playing and participating in the UIFL.
We still have a few teams that have a remaining balance owed on their team player fees. The UIFL has been allowing a few teams to pay some of their remaining fees owed for the 2010 season because of the bad economy and the difficulty some of it's players are having, however it has reached a point that the UIFL management believes that these few teams and players are taking advantage of this program offered this year and the UIFL will now begin to expel those teams that still owe money to the league.

WELCOME THE NORTHERN OGDEN TITANS!!!
The Utah Indoor Football League would like to welcome the Northern Ogden Titans! The Titans are a new developmental UIFL team for the 2011 season, However the Titans will play a couple of games with some of our current 2010 season teams starting Jan. 2nd 2009.
The games will count as far as win/loss for our current 2010 teams that play the Titans.
The Titans may have a few more games as we have a few new teams in our league this year that still owe players fees and the coach and the players have taken advantage of the league and league president Mr. Curran's attempt to give them extra time in this hard economy. These teams will be suspended from our current 2010 schedule and the Titans will fill their games.

Team owner, head coach and QB Jeff Wissler received his team's UIFL 2009 Championship Rings this past week. Just a little motivation for our new teams this year, we thought we would give you the first look at them!

The UIFL will start it's 11th season this Nov. 2009 at the U OF U Spence Eccles Indoor Football Facility. This facility is a great place to play Indoor Football and it is where the University of Utah Football Champions practice. The Indoor Field is located at: 650 So. Guardsman Way (1580 E).
It was also the place of the very successful 2nd year of the Utah Youth Indoor Football League ( www.uyifl.com ) where 500 boys participated this past spring.

The Wissler's Saints a first year team in the UIFL made up of various senior players from past years teams in the UIFL and a few ex-Utah Saints from the AIFA, a professional indoor minor league, defeated the 5 time UIFL Northern Conference Champions the Scorpions 56 to 36 at the Kaysville Sports Complex.
It was a hard fought battle between both teams through the third quarter and seemed like either team would take the championship until the Saints put it out of reach with some superior passing skills of veteren QB Jeff Wissler (ex-QB of the AIFA Utah Saints 2008 team).
Team owner and QB Terrence Smothers of the Scorpions had a good night, but you could see that an injury earlier in the season came back to haunt him in this game.

Vince Lombardi Speech
This is considered as one of the greatest football speeches of all time.
(Not a copyrighted speech)
WHAT IT TAKES TO BE NO. 1
by Vince Lombardi
Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing.
You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that's first place.I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again.There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers.It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win. Every time a football player goes to play his trade he's got to play from the ground up-from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play.Some guys play with their heads. That's O.K. You've got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organization, an army, a political party or a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win. To beat the other guy. Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don't think it is.It is a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men. That's why they are there. To compete. To know the rules and objectives when they get in the game. The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules-but to win. And in truth, I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline.There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head to head combat.I don't say these things because I believe in the "brute" nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.
