Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department <br />600 Town Center Parkway <br />Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br />(651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 <br />www.ci.lino - lakes.mn.us <br />May, 2013 <br />After twelve seasons of providing a youth football league for area youth, the City of Lino <br />Lakes is cancelling its 2013 football program. This was a decision that was not taken lightly <br />and was well thought out after meeting with the recently formed Centennial Football <br />Association (CFA) Board. <br />In 2001, several members from the local football community approached the City of Lino <br />Lakes and inquired whether we could provide youth football. For twelve seasons the City of <br />Lino Lakes took great pride in administering youth football here in the community. During this <br />past offseason it became apparent that the newly created Centennial Football Association <br />had been gaining support and has a solid plan in place to serve the football community. The <br />CFA is similar, if not identical to our football program in many facets. For example, the CFA <br />program has a similar fee structure, the same philosophy related to team formations, and will <br />be competing in the Twin Cities North Youth Football League (TCNYF), the same league we <br />have been playing in for years. Rather than directly compete for participants with the CFA, we <br />feel it's in everyone's best interests to not duplicate efforts of the CFA. <br />The City of Lino Lakes staff would like to say a great big "Thank You" for all who have <br />supported us and the program for the past twelve seasons. It has been a pleasure serving the <br />residents not only of Lino Lakes, but also Circle Pines, Centerville, Lexington, and Blaine over <br />the past decade plus. We would like to thank the thousands of parents, fans, officials, players <br />and coaches for making our program one of the top football programs in the metro area! <br />• <br />
