WELCOME TO THE CIFFL!

     The Catholic Inter-Parish Flag Football League (CIFFL) was established in 1998 as a sports ministry in the Archdiocese to bring together Catholic young adults in the form of a coed flag football league.  The inaugural 1998 CIFFL season consisted of four teams which has now grown into a field of 15 teams for the 2003 CIFFL season from various parishes in the Archdiocese of Atlanta. 


Community Service and Pro Bowl II Event

    

ACS FLAG FOOTBALL COMMUNITY SERVICE EVENT

  

  

Volunteers for the DS Walking Trail on December 7th! ...more pics

   
On Sunday, December 7th, the ACS Flag Football league is putting on a very special community service project at Dunwoody Springs Elementary School. We are planning to complete the task of putting in a wood chip walking track around the field that we used this season. This is an important event for our organization and league as community service projects are of high importance in everything we do as an organization.  We believe the success of this event will open up doors at other facilities in the area as word on good deeds do spread fast and our organization needs more facilities such as Dunwoody Springs for the benefit of our organization success.  Therefore, we ask at least TWO people or more per team pledge their time and come out to for the success of this cause. The rainout date for the event is set for Sunday, December 14th. 

The schedule for the event is follows:

- The event starts at 10:00 a.m. at Dunwoody Springs
- Bring your boots, shovels and rakes to start spreading wood chips onto the track
- Pictures for ACS web site and GA Bulletin at noon
- Pizza or some other food at noon
- We will give away a few of our new ACS t-shirts during the event!
- Wrap-up at 2:00 p.m. for start of Pro Bowl II

Due to an overwhelming interest in having another Pro Bowl, we are going to do it again! Following the community service event, the game is set for 2:00. Rainout is scheduled for Dec. 14th.

Here is how it works:

- Captains of the teams will solicit votes (via e-mail) from all team members to select three players of the team that have made significant contributions, i.e., players that best represent your team. It could be on the merits of athletic ability, team spirit, team leadership, most improved player, etc. Your superlatives are subjective to your own team. At least one male and one female, the other selection can be either gender. It recommended that this be a blind vote, no reply all!! This way, only captains know who is selected. 
- Tally the votes and submit them back to Gina Gianfagna no later than Nov. 27th. Reply to this e-mail(gina4fsu@bellsouth.net) 
- We will then determine, based on tourney seeding, how to divide up the teams. We were thinking of having the "Franciscans" play the "Dominicans," however, please chime in if you have any other ideas for team names. 
- Once the tally is in, Gina Gianfagna will send an e-mail out of who plays for which team.

First CIFFL Pro Bowl!

     The CIFFL had its inaugural CIFFL Pro Bowl game on February 9th, 2002.  The Pro Bowl was played at Sequoiu Park which took place after the opening day of the Catholic Inter-Parish Soccer League (CSL) games.

     Each team was given the opportunity to select one male and one female participant from their respective teams.  Each team was placed onto one of the two CIFFL Pro Bowl teams, the light and the dark.  The CIFFL Pro Bowl Light Team was made up of players from St. Jude Gold, CTK Blue, CTK Green, Mary Our Queen Black, CTK Orange and CTK Burgundy.  The CIFFL Pro Bowl Dark Team was made up of players from St. Brigid Gray, Holy Spirit Red, Holy Spirit Purple, All Parish White, TEC Teal and CTK Sky Blue.

A tremendous effort goes to Gina Gianfagna of St. Brigid Gray for organizing the first ever Pro Bowl and special thanks to Rob Thompson of the CSL for helping get a field to play on!  Pictured above are the participants in the first ever CIFFL Pro Bowl!


2002 CIFFL CHAMPIONSHIP

This years final four teams consisted of St. Jude Gold, CTK Burgundy, TEC Teal and St. Brigid Gray.  The number four seed and defending CIFFL champions St. Jude Gold matched up against the number eight seed CTK Burgundy.  The number three seeded St. Brigid Gray matched up with the number two seeded TEC Teal.  After some very close first round games and with the upset of the tourney, the number eight seed CTK Burgundy knocking off the number one seed CTK Sky Blue, the field of four was set!

The prevailing teams in both semi-final games were the number three seeded St. Brigid Gray and the number four seeded St. Jude Gold.  After St. Jude Gold four consecutive CIFFL championship titles, St. Brigid Gray knew they had there hands full even though the had the higher seed and beat the St. Jude's team in the regular season.  With timely plays and no room for error, St. Brigid Gray controlled the tempo from the start by taking an early lead and never looking back.  St. Jude Gold made a late come back attempt but it was too late for the strong St. Brigid Gray team.  The final score was St. Brigid Gray 35 and St. Jude Gold 18.  Pictured above is the St. Brigid Gray team right after their CIFFL Championship victory!.
