About Beach Football League
The Beach Football League (BFL) is the vision of Tully Banta-Cain, veteran NFL athlete and 2x Super Bowl champion. He founded the league in 2023 with the goal of creating a safer, lower-impact version of football that can be played on any beach with little to no special equipment, making football accessible everywhere.
Each event has included athlete tryouts, exhibition games, entertainment, and community activities, with former NFL talent participating as players, coaches, or commentators.
The long-term vision for the BFL is to establish franchise teams in cities across the country, with the ultimate goal of making beach football a Summer Olympic Sport.
