The KMFL was founded in 1980 by a group of local individuals with a passion for football. It is a not for profit organization run strictly by volunteers. The original mandate was to give athletes more experience for tackle football before heading to high school, and it remains the focus of our league to date.
The title sponsor for the league was the Kinsmen club of Peterborough and this has remained the same. If you speak to any Kinsmen member from the founding time period they will proudly tell you the KMFL was their baby.
At the time of inception, we had four teams. There was the South Steelers, North Stars, East Eagles and West Chargers and the age group was 11-13. Each athlete was assigned to their team based on their residential geography.
