ACFA KOC Committee
The ACFA KOC Committee consist of 2 teams that are at the center of the Alliance’s Area of Operation and that’s the Mid-Atlantic Region.
Our northern most area of NYC / North Jersey is an area that is one of the greatest areas on earth from entertainment to sports to cultural activities and most definitely the greatest melting pot of ethnicities on the entire planet. No area is more diverse.
Our southern most area right now is the state where lovers live in a very easy going manner but the state is very competitive. Sports has a culture all its own in Virginia along with a hospitality that is second to none. Especially on the sports landscape.
Shortly after the ACFA’s beginning in the 09’ Spring Season on the field, expansion and interests moved and shaped the areas from which teams aimed to compete from so it was determined that this area of Southern Maryland had become the middle of things and therefore our meetings and Kick-Off Classic (KOC) would start the season there with teams from the opposite conferences facing off against each other to do battle and counting as the 1st game of the season. As we continue to grow our interest in so many directions it’s important that our committee is headed by stable owners and leadership.
Xavier Stukes will be ACFA KOC Committee Lead as he has been that point person since 2014 when he not only navigated struggles in life but handled things with frustration and grace which saw him come out the other side absolutely fine.
This committee currently consist of teams representing the Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC areas and their respective owners:
- Upper Marlboro Stallions—Darron Mack (our Bylaws Czar)
- Baltimore Rams—Xavier Stukes (National Alliance President)
Between the 2 teams, they will be our primary host both for the Spring & Fall KOC’s and the Spring & Fall Showcases. As we continue to grow in many ways, a lot of what we do will involve these 2 cities and teams and we do believe that these owners will put their best feet forward. As we continue to grow in family teams, teams in both the National and American Conferences will also get their opportunities to KOC Host on a rotating basis in addition to the host teams.
Our 2 host cities are iconic.
- The Nation’s Capital needs no Introduction. None!
- The City of Baltimore? Charm, Food, a great sports history, and a Downtown Harbor that is the envy of most of the Country.
These beautiful cities represent a chance to do other things aside from football on the 4 dates each year when action takes place. Football mixes with a lot of things and these cities have pretty much everything that you could want—————when the game is over.
