How many areas are in the NRFL and approximately how many teams are there?
For 2010 there are 35 member areas in the NRFL split into two divisions. Membership in a division while being somewhat influenced by geography is really determined by whether or no the area has a school sponsored 78’r team. Northern Division areas DO NOT have a school sponsored 78’r team therefore the NRFL operates a 78’r component in those areas. Northern Division areas include: Baldwin, Beal City, Big Rapids, Chippewa Hills, Howard City (Tri-County), Morley-Stanwood, Montabella, Mt. Pleasant, and Reed City. In the Southern Division, the member areas DO HAVE school sponsored 78’r teams therefore the 12/14 age teams from those areas have a different weight structure than the Northern Division teams. Southern Division areas include: Belding, Caledonia, Cedar Springs, Comstock Park, Coopersville, East Grand Rapids, Grand Rapids Christian, GREAAT (Kingdom Square), Greenville, Kenowa Hills, Kent City, Kentwood, Lowell, M.L. King Park, Mulick Park, North Park, NorthPointe Christian, Northvi
