bialy14,

I tend to think that you misunderstood the NABF franchise information. You must have a league with 4 teams to join as a franchise

I would suggest that you find out what leagues there are in your area and what their affiliation's are.

Since you are in NJ I can list a few.
ECTB
CJBL
CJABL
CERBO

You will need to look into (in no particular order)

sponsorship
playing & practice field
players
insurance (you might try AAU or K&K Insurance Group)
equipment
uniforms
coaches

You might look into an existing organization that might not have a team in your age group and hook up with them....

You really need to have a handle on the financials before you get to far into it..... The cost of all the things I mentioned above really add up.... Make sure people know what they are getting into...

You also have to ask yourself.... Why am I starting this team?
