A WORD FROM THE OWNER
First and foremost, I am a proud Buffalonian. That is the main reason I started Joe Licata Football, Inc. I have traveled across the country playing the game we all love. I spent significant time in two other states. One of the things I have learned is that football needs to be redefined in Western New York. The ambition of this company is to improve the level of play across Section 6. With great pride I welcome you to join me; don’t settle, be GREAT.
