I don't have the exact number (again, please forgive me).

We get an automatic email everytime a coach registers his team. We have a database, but I am not in charge of that part of it. I mainly run the coaches listserv, assist with the 7 on 7s and some offseason events (Nike Clinic, Combines, etc.) and am on some other committees (state championship, rules, etc.).

Don't hold me to this number, but I believe Coach Mann (who is the KMSFA Playoff/Championship Coordinator) stated we had to have 30 or so D3 schools, plus all current members to maintain, in order for us to go to 3 divisions. I am pretty sure that the numbers have been better than expected (sort of a "if you build it they will come" since most D3 sized schools had previously thought they would have a tough time year in and year out playing in the 2 division setup as before). This all hinges on membership numbers, regardless.

I would like to highlight that there are so many more benefits to being a member of the KMSFA. Our East vs West All Star game where the top 100 8th graders play against one another at Kentucky State University, our alignment with 2 different national all-star games (played in Myrtle Beach, SC and San Antonio, TX), off season events such as 7 on 7s that are held at universities, insurance, rules and standards, along with professional training and development for coaches.

The KMSFA, in my opinion, is THE hardest working organization for ANY middle school sport in the state.

I have to agree with you, imo its professionally ran and organized considering that it hasnt been around that long, KUDOS to everyone that has a hand in it.:rockon::rockon::Thumbs::1:
