Thanks to some great fall weather, the LMAA finished its 50th season without a single game cancelled for weather -- that is 692 games on the schedule.
Thanks to all the volunteer coaches for your contribution and to Blueline Medical for EMT services as well as all the referees that helped make this a great season for youth football.
We look forward to seeing all the returning players next year. Best of luck to the 8th graders going on to high school.
In recognition of LMAA's 50th anniversary, we are making an extra effort to promote and recognize sportsmanship. To aid in this effort, we have a form (registration form) on a Sportsmanship page in the left column. This page is available to registered coaches and referees (must be signed in to your account to view the page) to nominate a team when they feel the team demonstrated sportsmanship worthy of recognition.
The Lake Minnetonka Athletic Association (LMAA) is a youth football league deidicated to helping young people in grades 4th through 8th to learn the fundamentals of football, learn the value of teamwork and have fun doing it.

In June 2011, the state of Minnesota passed a concussion law that goes into effect on September 1, 2011 for all youth sports both PRIVATE and PUBLIC.
In response to this law, the LMAA has created a concussion protocol and provides information on concussions for parent, coach, and player review.
The concussion information can be found the navigation bar, left side of the website.
