Continental Indoor Football League: The CIFL is trying to recruit new teams for its 2012 season and will hold a league meeting next week. The league had six teams in 2011, but the Port Huron Predators folded during the season and the Cincinnati Commandos and Marion Blue Racers left for the Ultimate Indoor Football League after the 2011 season. The league is left with three teams-the Dayton Silverbacks, Chicago Knights, and Indianapolis Enforcers.
Stars Football League: The four-team professional SFL has shortened the schedule for its inaugural outdoor season, which ended this past week. The Fort Lauderdale Barracudas and Daytona Racers played four games and the New Orleans Jazz and Michigan Coyotes played only two games. The league has several other proposed teams that it hopes to add for its next season in 2012.
American Professional Football League: A team called the Cheyenne (WY) Warriors has announced it will be part of the semi-pro indoor APFL for its 2012 season. The owner of the Warriors also owns the Tampa-based Florida Scorpions, which was an APFL provisional team that played two games in 2011. The APFL had five full-schedule teams based in the Midwest for its 2011 season.
United Football League: The UFL has announced it will start its third season in mid-September 2011 with only four teams-the Sacramento Mountain Lions, Omaha Nighthawks, Las Vegas Locos (Locomotives), and Virginia Destroyers. The league has suspended operations of its Hartford (CT) Colonials franchise for this season. Hartford entered the UFL last season when the 2009 New York Sentinels franchise was relocated.
