Ultimate Indoor Football League: The UIFL plans to announce its first Florida-based franchise next week. The team is expected to start play in 2012 at the Germain Arena in Estero, near Fort Myers. It was previously thought that the team would be called the Florida Tarpons. A team called the Florida Stingrays, which planned to be part of the Southern Indoor Football League, had also been trying to obtain a lease for the Germain Arena.
Professional Indoor Football League: The proposed PIFL, which failed to get off the ground as planned for the 2011 season, has announced it will play its first season in 2012 as a Tier I junior football league with all players between the ages of 18 and 21.
Women's Spring Football League: A few WSFL teams played short schedules in 2010 as the league tried to get off the ground. The WSFL has yet to post its 2011 schedule, but has 18 member teams listed, 8 of which are listed as 2012 teams. New to the team list are the Cape Fear Thunder, Huntsville Invasion, and Kansas Phoenix (Kansas City). More recently, the Cape Fear Thunder played three seasons (2007-09) as part of the Independent Women's Football League after two seasons (2005-06) in the Women's Professional Football League; and played a few games in 2003 and 2004 as the Fayetteville Warriors and Fayetteville Thunder in the Women's Football League.
Canadian Lingerie Football League: The proposed CLFL, also known as Canadian Fantasy Football, plans to hold an exhibition event in Winnipeg in July 2011 as it prepares to launch in 2012. A potential Winnipeg team in the new league has been named the Winnipeg Wild.
United Football League: The UFL currently has five teams that it says are ready for its 2011 season, but is undecided on whether to add a sixth team in either Portland, Salt Lake City or Chattanooga. The league would like to take advantage of a possible delay in the National Football League's season due to current negotiations on a players' labor contract. The UFL has no television contract in place for 2011 and is still trying to pay off various debts from last season.
Stars Football League: The proposed SFL, which plans to start play on May 21, 2011, now has eight teams listed-the Charleston (SC) Admirals, Dayton Beach Racers, Fort Lauderdale Barracudas, Las Vegas Gamblers, Little Rock Ironmen, Michigan Coyotes (Detroit), Mobile Gladiators, and New Orleans Jazz.
