Sponsor a DFA Player

Cover a Player’s Season. Support the Opportunity.

Football does not end for many athletes after high school or college.

Across Minnesota there are talented players who still have the ability, discipline, and drive to compete at a high level. What many of them lack is the opportunity and the platform.

The Developmental Football Association (DFA) was created to provide that opportunity.

Our goal is to build a professional level developmental football experience where athletes can continue competing, developing, and earning opportunities to move forward in football.

Through the DFA Sponsor a Player Program, fans, families, and businesses can directly support a player by covering their entire DFA season participation fee.

sponsorship fully covers your player's dues

• Field and facility rentals
