Established

TLSWFA was created in 2007 under the umbrella of the Boykins Youth Foundation, Inc., a 501c3 non-profit organization.  TLSWFA was started as a collective voice to promote minor league football, cheer and dance.  Its founder, Chris Boykins, brings to the league professional football experience, a wealth of knowledge and a genuine love for the game as well as a heart for people.  Former NFL star, Derrick Harris, (RB for the Rams and Chargers) also helped jumpstart the minor league.  Harris says this league was none other than a, “necessity for teams throughout the southwestern region.”  With Harris talents from the University of Miami and his NFL playing experience Harris has pulled together a few other former NFL players that helped kick off this competitive league.
