How it started

The Origin Story

1997
1 Founding Member · 30 Seasons

The MYFFL was founded in 1997 by a group of 4 friends and a new league of 10 OWNERS

The idea was simple: score every yard rushing, receiving, and kicking, and NOT score Touchdowns or Turnovers. A 200-yard receiver week should matter more than a lucky goal-line carry. Thirty Seasons later, that philosophy has produced some of the most competitive and statistically rich fantasy football in our circle.

What started as a group text and a spreadsheet is now a full league hub — standings, history, records, and a trophy that nobody wants to give back.
