dear Players, Families, Owners, and Fans,
Welcome to Lemon Ball Football — where passion meets purpose, and football is truly freshly squeezed.
Lemon Ball was founded on a simple but powerful idea: football should be fun, fair, and filled with opportunity for those who live and breathe this game. After years of hearing the same frustrations from athletes — unfair treatment, broken promises, politics standing in the way of talent — I knew it was time to create something different. Something better. Something you could believe in again.
Lemon Ball is more than just a league.
It's a movement fueled by character, camaraderie, and community.
It’s a league where players are paid fairly, treated with dignity, and celebrated for their leadership on and off the field.
It’s a place where fans can bring their families, watch high-energy games, and see athletes who are true role models in the making.
My promise to you is simple:
-
We will lead with ethics and integrity.
-
We will honor the spirit of football.
-
We will build a league that values family, opportunity, and heart as much as talent.
-
We will create an environment where the love of the game shines every time the ball is snapped.
As Commissioner, I’m proud to stand at the starting line of something truly special — and even prouder to invite you to be part of it from the very beginning.
Thank you for believing in this vision.
Thank you for believing in the players.
And thank you for helping us build a league where football’s best days are still ahead.
Welcome to Lemon Ball Football.
Let’s squeeze every drop of greatness out of this journey together.
With excitement and gratitude,
Dr. Brandy Runyan
Commissioner, Lemon Ball Football
