Indoor Football League: The Wenatchee Valley (WA) Venom franchise of the IFL has announced the team will sit out the 2012 season to restructure its organization.
Western Indoor Football Association: The Reno Barons team, which had been affiliated with the WIFA, has ended its 2011 season due to a lack of funds.
Canadian Football League: The proposed new Ottawa-based CFL franchise will most likely not start play until the 2014 season. The team was supposed to start in 2013, but the city's stadium renovation and adjacent redevelopment area were facing some legal battles.
Women's Spring Football League: After having five teams play a short exhibition schedule in 2010, the WSFL has started its 2011 season. Currently, the league has a two-team 11's Division for 11-player teams and a five-team 8's Division for 8-player teams. The WSFL is trying to develop an indoor Leather N' Lace Division that plays a game similar to the Lingerie Football League. The WSFL is also trying to start a 6's Division for six-player teams in 2012.
Leather and Lace Football League: The new LLFL has started play with three Alabama-based teams called the Mobile Bay Vixens, Dauphin Island Dreamz, and Grand Bay Ravens. All games are played at Cottage Hill Park in Mobile. The league plays full-contact indoor football and is similar to the Lingerie Football League, but the dress is a little more sports-like. The LLFL plans to add some 2012 expansion teams, one of which is the Kansas City Tease.
