Mission
Statement
The Greater Des Moines Catholic Football League, founded in 1964, will strive to
provide young student-athletes the opportunity to develop disciplined life skills through family, friends,
and the game of Football. The Greater Des Moines Catholic Football League will focus on Five Key
Pillars of development:
- Sportsmanship
- Teamwork
- Commitment/Accountability
- Football Fundamentals
- Lifelong Physical Fitness
The Greater Des Moines Catholic Football League will deliver a positive spiritual experience for each
player, coach, and family, regardless of the outcome of the game. Our goal is to develop strong
young men who, through participation in our league, will naturally progress into Dowling Catholic
High School, which develops leaders for life centered on Christ.
