| Hello everyone, with 3 weeks left in the regular season, I would like to share some thoughts about the league, where it is,and the future.
I believe this is our 13th season as the P.V.T.F.L., and it looks like the most competitve year to date. Our league has 12 teams, which makes us the BIGGEST and BEST touch football league in western ma. Financially, we are very sound, and after the cost of trophies, we still have a lot of flexibility going into next year. Although our website does'nt have all the fancy graphics and hi def pics, we do have one thing that seperates US from the rest. Our abilty to get information up on the website has been very consistant. Thanks to Jay, who is in charge of stats, and yours truly, who is in charge of pre & post game write ups, we have game results AND updated standings done by Sunday nights. Lets not forget the "Photo of the Week" ,someting I take great pride in and LOTS of research too! I also have been getting feedback from the refs and they all have told me how smooth and organized things have been. So thats a good thing too.
As for next season, I do anticipate getting more teams, as it has been brought to my attention that the other touch league has several issues.
But, we still have THIS season to determine a champion. So, good luck to ALL the teams. This post season is shaping up to one of the most competitive yet.

| Big shout out to the Commish!
Dave does a phenomenal job. As a vet of the W.Mass football leagues, Dave does a great job, puts in a lot of work and doesn't take anything in return ($) compared to most leagues. Most of you don't understand 1) how much the commish does and 2) He doesn't take league $$$$. Dave, great job, keep up the great work and your efforts are truly appreciated!!!!!

| Thanks K.J. .... a league is only as good as it's teams. I feel we have strong teams that support the league and players who really want this league to be the best.

| I'd have to agree w/all the above..w/ both KJ and Dave. The previous 3 years it seemed like every week there was some sort of issue, either big or small. I don't think Dave and I have fielded many issues at all this year. Also, KJ hits it square on the head...The time and effort Dave puts into this league very few will ever know..however, I do. So I too would like to thank Dave for all his work in making this league,the Premier Touch League...hands down.
BTW...People wouldn't belive the td reception Dave made unless they saw it for themselves...so I'm not gonna tell'em. Stay tan my little Italian friend.

| I agree, great job this season Dave. The league has a good balance of new and experienced teams and a expansion for next season will only make the competition better.
The stock is rising in the PVTFL.

| I would also like to say that we have a good crop of teams this year. Sportsmanship is at an all-time high. Of course there is gonna be some trash talking but that comes down to the competitive nature of the teams. There haven't been any real on field altercations that I am aware of. Even the lower tier teams come to play every day and improve every week. Look at our team (Rams)for example. How many years in a row did we play in the CACA BOWL? We steadily improved every year by sticking together and adding one or two players to fit our needs. I can see that happening with some of the younger teams as long as they stick together. After playing in this league for 10yrs I have noticed the most important aspect of a winning team is chemistry. So hang in there youngsters and you will be happy with the results. And yes I am at work extremely bored
