EFLI needs a Player Draft

The fans have spoken: 50% of the poll votes show that fans would like to see some sort of draft and combine be introduced into the league.



An EFLI Draft would be a night where all the coaches of the EFLI would choose rookie players to draft them to their team's roster. This gives the league a fair competitive environment that will only strengthen the league as a whole.

How it can be done?

A Combine.



A combine is a day where all the coaches show up to one field and make all the rookies who want to enter the league to try out and run football drills so the coaches can see who the top athletes are. Players would have to complete the following:

• Full Name
• Positions Interested in playing
• Address
• Age
• 40-yard Dash time
• Bench Press Reps
• -Other drills vary on what position players try out for

The combine would be fun for players to try out for, and will also expand the sport across India even more.

How will the draft actually work?

Online. Simply have all the coaches on stand-by online at a certain time, and stream a live feed of the draft. It could all be run by the commissioner or someone willing to cover it fairly. LIKE A REPORTER. That's right, this would be such a simple set-up, all it would take would be myself blogging the picks while coaches select what players they choose to draft. Fans can watch and read online about the new rookie and what they bring to their favorite team. The hardest part would be selecting and promoting a date for all rookie players and coaches to show up for, maybe in Colombo, Sri Lanka and Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in India and make it a 2 day event.

The league needs to start pushing forward, uniforms and players aren't enough. Fans are the most important part of a successful sport, and a draft and combine will help teach fans more of the players and help incoming players get a better grasp of the game.
