Past president Steve Dean joins the podcast today to discuss his 15 year tenure at the head of NCAFA(2004-2019). Football in general has undergone seismic changes in the last 25 years, both in safety and participation. The expansion of flag, touch and girls football under the NCAFA umbrella took off after the turn of the century and Steve joins us to talk about his efforts and specifically the tireless hours spent by the myriad of NCAFA volunteers to expand the game, increase safety and grow what was already the leading minor football league in Canada.
