The history of the Five Star Football League began in 2010, as representatives of several local Adult Amateur Football teams took to the task of converting a collaborative document labeled Concept X into a 16 team league. The current league membership spans 3 States including CT, NY and NJ. The first meeting took place on February 20th, 2010 as the initial 11 teams work to develop the bylaws that are now the foundation of the Five Star Football League. What will separate the FSFL from many others leagues is the ownership structure which is equally controlled by all member teams, each team holds equal position at the table and equal control within the league.
