The Academy of Football League
The Academy of Football League (162096) was formed in season one of youth team creation, more widely known as season 32 in the USA senior team season. Currently in the fifth consecutive season, there is eight teams competing in the league, with four of the teams being original members.
Introduction
When the league was being formed, there was a discussion about the logistics of the league among the top owners. These top owners decided that the league would be by invite only, and be only avaliable to teams from the United States of America. The reason for the exclusivity of the league would be so that the few players that were chosen for the teams would receive the best training and participate in the highest level of competition possible. The original plan has worked, as many of the youth players that came from the league are super stars now on senior teams around the world.
First Season
The first season saw 12 teams competing for the inaugural championship, with North Aurora Athletic Club Jr's., other wise known as N.A.A.C. Jr's., taking home that very first championship. No one remembers how much they won by, because they crushed all competition that first season.
Second Season
In season number two, there were many changes, beginning with the league shrinking down from 12 teams to 8 so that the young players could get used to the senior team schedule. With five teams leaving, there was one opening for new team. Pathaans was the lucky team that won the drawing to enter the league, unfortunately for Pathaans they finished with 0 points, only 5 goals for, and 76 goals against. This is known as the most futile season in the league's short history, and no one thinks that these records will be broken. At the top of the table, the second season also crowned a new champion. Chaos FC won the league on the last day, by a mere 2 points (31-29), beating out 1st season champions N.A.A.C. Jr's.

Third Season
The third season saw original league member Fox Vally Youth Academy's patience and superior training plan finally pay off. With three games left in the season, they clinched no matter what happen the rest of the way. This is there first championship, and the third different champion in three years. Once again, N.A.A.C. Jr's., took home second place, clearly the most consistent team in the league, with 1 championship, and two 2nd place finishes.

Best Players
Some of the finest young players come out of the The Academy of Football League. Obviously, not all players that have been pulled were of the highest quality, but there have been many players that have gone on to do great things for senior teams all over the world. On the other end of the sprectrum, some of the players that were sold with great futures now toll around on meaningless teams with no light at the end of there tunnel.

Youth League Challenge
The Academy of Football League is currently negotiating with other youth leagues to see if it would be possible for us to have a battle between the different leagues. This would be a youth league challenge, and the winner would be determined by whichever youth league had more points at the end of all matches. It is taking a little longer to get information back then I expected, and the challenge may not happen until season 5.
Here are some possible inititives:
1.) We would "challenge" another youth league to friendlies.
2.) We keep track of Wins, Losses, Ties, and Goal differential.
3.) Whichever youth league has more total points (w+t=p) at the end of all matches wins the challenge.
4.) If the teams tie, winner will be determined by goal differential.

I'd like to thank Clhatch13 for tracking the majority of the goals and doing the the dream team every week. I know that it takes a lot of time and patience.
