Home Page

The new Continentalindoorfootball.com home page incorporates several new features not previously available. The addition of video highlights adds an interactive feature to the league website and provides fans a unique way to feel a part of the game. The scrolling news banner allows us to feature more stories on the front page and gives the fans a unique look at some of the top stories in the CIFL. We have also added a yearly calendar that highlights all of the league’s events, including each and every CIFL game in 2009. Another new addition to the website is the season ticket button located near the right side of the page. This button allows fans to easily access information about season tickets for each of the league’s eight teams. A photo gallery was also added and will be updated as the season progresses. The new standings graphic located on the right side of the page allows fans to easily track how their team is doing during the season without having to search and scroll all over the website (although we do encourage our fans to search and scroll each page of the new website).

“The home page was designed to present as much information to our fans as possible; and it does that with a sleek and fresh look,” said CIFL Co-Founder Jeff Spitaleri.
