HISTORY OF THE AFL The Alaska Football League is an amateur football league that works with young adults out of high school or college, giving them an opportunity to develop their skills to help further their football careers.
The League’s mission statement is as follows; The Alaska Football League will regulate and promote the highest level of amateur football in order to provide athletes an opportunity to develop and advance their football careers.
