Run your football team
like a pro.
Jerusalem is home to the Jerusalem Lions, one of the four founding teams of the Israel Football League back in 2005, who play out of the Kraft Family Sports Campus — the only regulation-size American football field in the Middle East. Organize practice, manage your roster, track attendance, and fill open spots — whether you run a flag team, a rec league squad, or a competitive amateur club.
AFI, the national federation, now runs roughly 90 teams and 2,000+ players across Israel, including a dedicated women's league. Jerusalem's hill-country climate is cooler and shorter-seasoned than the coast, so open lawns like Gan Sacher (already home to the city's pickup ultimate frisbee scene) fill a real gap — and a team's practice window matters even more here.
Running a team shouldn't be this hard
Jerusalem's scene runs through one field
The Jerusalem Lions have played since the IFL's founding in 2005, based at the Kraft Family Sports Campus — the region's only regulation-size field. Real history, but organizing your own game still means juggling chats with no shared way to see who's playing.
Roster management nightmare
Tracking who's on the team, who's injured, and who's active requires spreadsheets nobody maintains.
A short season makes every practice count
Jerusalem's hill-country climate runs cooler and drier than the coast, with a shorter comfortable outdoor season. Miss a few practices in that window and there's little season left to make it up.
Finding replacement players
Someone's out for the season and you need a replacement. There's no easy way to find players looking for a team.
