History
The Connecticut Speed School launched our 2010 Connecticut Winter Football League because we whole-heartedly believe in the developmental aspect of the 6-man vs 6-man full contact tackle football format. Our 2010 winter football season was a spectacular success because the development of our players was amazing! Our coaches did a fantastic job and the overall experience was extremely positive!

The 6-man vs 6-man format creates a "fast" game where players quickly learn to develop and execute their skills (blocking, tackling, getting off blocks, running etc) in space. The "coachability" is incredible because now coaches only have 6 players on the field at any given time and one coach is allowed on the field with his players throughout the entire game (2 coaches per team are allowed on the field with our younger divisions). Teams of 12 players is required. 12 is the right number. More than 12 coaches may struggle to get each player ample playing time and fewer than 12 may create challenges with practice, substitutions etc.

Youth football coaches and parents of young players... as parents and coaches of young athletes we sincerely believe in this format and think young players are missing the boat if they are not playing winter football. The time commitment is limited allowing players to continue to participate in basketball and wrestling. In fact, the majority of our winter football players do particpate in the traditional winter sports. Our games are played at an indoor facility conveniently located in Trumbull, CT. Games last 1 hour (plenty of time in this format) and most teams practice once per week for 60-90 minutes in their local area. We learned from last year that many cities/ towns require team insurance policies to use their facilities for practice. As a result, we are working with an insurance provider to provide coverage for any team requiring a policy at a very reasonable rate.

Please contact us to discuss participating in our upcoming 2011 Winter Football Season. More information on our 2011 Season will be posted here as they become available. We are working on improvements for the 2011 season which will be announced once finalized. We are commited to delivering the best product we can for our players, coaches & parents!
