1960 League Meetings and World Update

1960 League Meetings and World Update 

{ Time to switch gears back to the current year of the NAAF. Not too much to report during the league meetings this time around, but some minor updates from around the surrounding leagues as they continue to counter the recent moves made by the NAAF. }

The League once again didn’t have much to discuss over their yearly meetings. The new locations in London, Louisville, and Indianapolis have been successful so far, and there hope for both Louisville and Indiana to continue to improve.  However, there were some announcements from the other leagues.

The Great Lakes Football League officially announced the addition of a Columbus, Ohio team to add a 7th team to the league with still potential to move to Kansas City or Minneapolis in the near future. The Ontario Football Union also announced the addition of a Kitchener-Waterloo that will fill up the vacancy left by the Tigers after their move to London. 

The Atlantic Coast Football League continued to develop their scouting base for the league trying to find ways to attract new players to play in the ACFL. More scouts have been noticed at colleges around the country and even high-schools and they look to get players involved at an earlier age.  

On the NAAF’s side, Ryan Jameson has made the league’s relationship with The Gains Report stronger, bringing Lawrence Gainsborough closer to the league. Gainsborough has been recruiting scouts over the last few seasons from across the country, which may attract more and more talent to the NAAF. He also has worked closely with the rest of the scouts that have been scouting NAAF talent over the last decade and they are coming together to form a larger network for The Gains Report. With all of this, the NAAF is now announcing that The Gains Report will officially be the headliner for the league’s primary scouting department.
