Description
On January 13-14-15, 2017 the United States Flag & Touch Football League (USFTL) will again hold their National Championships tournament on 28 fields at Ellis-Methvin Park and the Otis M. Andrews Sports Complex. Over the three day period, 440 teams from all across the USA as well as from Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Bahamas and Cayman Islands, will compete in 33 different age/gender/style categories, including 37 teams in youth groups from 5 to 14 years old.
This is the second year that the USFTL has selected Plant City as their championship site. After many years in Osceola County, this tournament was introduced to Plant City last year by the Tampa Bay Sports Commission (TBSC), the sports marketing arm of Visit Tampa Bay. According to the TBSC, an estimated 12,000 participants and spectators visited Plant City for the 2016 event. This brings a lot of business to not only our hotels, but also to our restaurants, grocers, convenience stores and other local businesses.
