Due to the pandemic, those plans were cut short, and all of the founding members stepped away. Not wanting the league to fold, Julian stepped up and took the reins as President of VFFL. He was the only person willing to manage the league, but was willing to accept the challenge because of his love of the game.

Not one for complacency, Julian didn’t want to just maintain what was built, but improve the process. He needed a tool to manage everything in one place, but also one that would help bring his community together. There is a lively sports community in Ho Chi Minh City, so tapping into the city was essential.

Managing a niche sport in a developing country, VFFL had to try a new approach. They needed a tool that could make running the organization possible with just one leader. Arranging practices, assigning teams, running competitions, recruiting new players and streamlined communication in two languages all within one platform were essential to managing the league.

Reclub has been vital to the success of VFFL. The platform allows the club to manage all aspects in one app seamlessly. With a robust sports community already established in Reclub, Julian is able to recruit new players weekly. VFFL has also been a vehicle for the local players to not only play, but compete at a high level. Kudos to VFFL for making flag football a staple of the sports community in Vietnam and growing the game abroad.
