Step 1: Grass Roots is the way to go. Court football was created on paper in a small town, so local is the way to go. It can start as pickup games, possibly grow into a youth league, then began to be played by adults. Post the rules on the internet so everybody will know how the game works. Respond to e-mail suggestions on rule changes and alter the rules so the game will eventually mold itself into something marketable.
Step 2: Semi-Pro. One of the great things about court football is that you don't need a large arena to play it in. High school gymnasiums fit perfectly into court football's style. Semi-pro court football leagues are a reality and can work. It would also bring back the "small-town rivalry" back into sports in some realm besides high school football. This is a feeling that is slowly being eliminated from minor league baseball, and court football might be just the thing to bring it back.
Step 3: Big-Time. Realisticially, a professional court football league is way down the road. However, it would allow less work to remodel a basketball-intended arena than our 50-yard counterparts. Court Football does not require a complicated net system, and less money for Astroturf.
Step 4: Worldwide. Court football does not necessarly have to start it's following in the United States or Canada. It can start in Europe, Japan, or Afghanistan. Hopefully, a long while down the road, a court football world championship, with national teams, may occur.
Step 5: It Doesn't Have To Be Tackle. Court Football can be played three ways: touch, flag, or tackle. This means that court football can be easily impleted into elementary, junior high, and high school physical education programs. It can also be a great way to set up a fraternity or sorority sports league on college campuses.
Step 6: Uniqueness? Could court football be considered a seperate sport than American or Canadian football? The are so many different rules, it possible could be considerred a brand new sport.
