The Founders

I am excited to share a unique opportunity to dive into the exhilarating world of the North American Track and Field League (NATFL). Our league goes beyond the dynamism of business. It's a place where the passion for sports intersects with the thrill of the race or the roar of the crowd.

01. Our Vision

North American Track&Field League® is created to be among the four Major League Sports in the USA. When a collegiate Football, Basketball, Soccer, or Baseball athlete is drafted they have the NFL, NBA, MLS, or MLB to aspire to, hoping to further their athletic dreams. Now Track and Field athletes have NATFL™.

The journey began with a passionate group of sports enthusiasts who share a common dream – to form a competitive track and field league. The NATF-League was born, with the aid of its founding members, Joseph and Lauretta Codrington, NATF-League works tirelessly to define its vision, mission, and goals.

02. Our Mission

In August 2021, the league began recruiting athletes and support staff. Tryouts were held for our 3 Competitive Teams-Detroit TurbinesTM, Chicago Blazing StormTM, and New York QuicksteppersTM, attracting talented athletes locally and worldwide. Working with the athletes’ performance teams, NATFL seeks to nurture both potential and opportunities.
