About us

Greater Des Moines Catholic Football League

The Greater Des Moines Catholic Football League, founded in 1964, strives to provide young student athletes the opportunity to develop disciplined life skills through family, friends, and the game of football.

Our league is focused on the four key pillars of development:

  • Sportsmanship
  • Teamwork
  • Commitment/Accountability
  • Football fundamentals

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.
