2008 NHFA National Football Tournament 

National Homeschool Football Association held its first NHFA Tournament in Panama City Beach, Florida.  The tournament started on Wednesday, November 19th when teams arrived at the Laguna Beach Christian Resort.  The “Welcome to the 2008 NHFA Tournament” meeting had over 600 attendees.  Each team and coaching staff was introduced with the head coach giving a brief talk about their football team.  Thursday night’s meeting featured “The Coaches-Players” game where each team was represented with one coach and one player.  After answering questions put to each player and coach, the competition was intense, with a tie at the end of regulation between the Georgia Force and North Georgia Falcons.  In overtime, the Georgia Force beat out the Falcons.  On Thursday, Friday and Saturday games were played simultaneously on two football fields.  Saturday evening we held an awards ceremony.  

We play 11 man tackle football and follow the rules of the National Federation of High Schools.  We use certified High School officials for our football games.  Our goal is to give homeschool teams around the country the opportunity to compete against other homeschool teams.
