2012 AMICC Adult co-ed Flag Football Super Bowl Champions,
Duffy’s Tavern Raiders and Captain Chris Gillum,
will look to defend their crown as the 2013 season begins this week.
The Anna Maria Island Community Center’s winter NFL Flag Football program begins this week. Thirty-seven teams will begin their run for the Center’s Super Bowl championship.
The league will begin this Thursday with the Adult co-ed league. The kick-off season dinner banquet has been canceled for Wednesday night Jan. 2. With the children still being on holiday break, a census was taken and too many players would be missing the annual event on that night. A new date is soon to be announced.
Registration is over, tryouts taken place, teams have been formed in the draft and countless hours of practices have been held all in preparation for the season to start. Here is a preview of how the divisions stacked up and their volunteer coaches:
