Now in its fifth year, the league has grown from six teams to thirty-two, covering parts of Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kentucky, and New York. The USFA is making many great strides to establish its own identity as a respectable and legitmiate Semi-Pro Football League.
The Goodnight Trophy
Awarded to the USFA Champions, the Goodnight Trophy carries the name of the league's founder and current president, Randy Goodnight.
League Overview
The USFA was established in 2005 by Randy Goodnight of Sharon,Pennsylvania after
he was unsatisfied with the direction of the league his team was playing in. He wanted
to form a league that players as well as coaches and owners were proud to play in and
he wanted the league to be fair for everyone that was involved. With this vision, the
United States Football Alliance was founded.
League Mission
The goal of the USFA is to give athletes the chance to showcase their talents and
earn an opportunity to play at the next level - whether that is college or professionally.
Athletes in the USFA are not compensated and therefore retain their college
eligibility. Not only is the USFA a great place for players to refine their skills for the
next level, but also a means for football enthusiasts to continue to participate in full
contact football after their high school, college or pro career has come to a close.
