2012 is the year of the Dragon and BlackShip Football League started the year off with a bang. We gained two slots in the first-ever Youth American Football pre-game exhibition games in the Rice Bowl held in the Tokyo Dome.
The Elemetary Teams combined to form an AllStar team primarily composed of Yokota Little Tigers and a couple Gators. The Junior High Teams combined to form an AllStar team primarily composed of Little Tigers and a few Lions.
A great big set of thanks to all the coaches, parents, and especially the players who made this a successful day. Both of our teams dominated the short game format and came out on top.
New for this year, we have added a “Galleries” section. Click on the link above from your computer, iPhone, iPad, or Android phone to enjoy photos of our recent events. Today, I posted photos from the Hurricanes and Blue Thunders games in Osaka (Chestnut League) and photos from the Rice Bowl.
Don’t miss the Winter Season. The link to the schedule above will be updated with our game schedule. Currently, we have two game days scheduled with the Japanese teams in February. More details coming soon.

This morning, the Middle School Green Machines squared off against the Setagaya Blue Thunders at Amino Vital Field in Chofu. Blue Thunders rolled over the GM 50+ points to zero.
Blue Thunders are looking for a worthy opponent. Our Tigers and our Nittany Lions plan to give them a run for the money!
It’s going to be a great season!
