2026 Gopher State Football League

We are thrilled to welcome your association and teams to this bold, new chapter in community-based youth football. The GSFL was developed with one clear mission: to unite, strengthen, and elevate youth football across the Twin Cities metro area and Greater Minnesota through collaboration, consistency, and a shared commitment to excellence. As Mr. Mike Hunter from Burnsville so perfectly stated at the end of our January Informational Meeting, “We have a chance to do something special for youth football.” Together, we share a unified commitment to creating a safe, positive, and productive environment for the next generation of youth football players—a legacy we can all take pride in shaping.

THe GSFL is COMMITTED TO growing the game and creating a positive experience for all participants!
