Revel in Team Spirit
Tackle football may not be for everyone, but the UDS Challenger Football and Cheerleading League is! CFCL is the ultimate team sport and the perfect way for people ages 8-21 with disabilities to get some exercise, socialize, and have fun.
Along with teaching the fundamentals of football and cheerleading, CFCL provides the opportunity to come together as a team in front of a cheering crowd. The rules are simple–every player participates to their level of achievement–and gets time in the spotlight. Everybody scores and everybody wins. It’s up to you how you play the game!
