Ljubljana Frogs finish 2nd in the SFFL regular season

Thus, the regular part of the Slovenian Flag Football League is over. Towards the end, our concentration dropped a bit in the postponed matches, but we happily took second place in the regular season.

Last year we finished fifth after regular season, with eight wins and eight losses. Increasing the number of practice, video films, analysis of our performances, cooperation with head coach Aleš Makuc, collaboration with assistants via the Internet (Lev Petukhov, Devin Adkins, Joe Cotterill), and with physiotherapist Aleks Valant, all came to fruition. 

We finish the regular season in second place with 11 wins and 3 losses. All three defeats were against teams that have been on the American football scene for quite some time and are also showing their good performances abroad. We lost to current state champions Jazbeci, against former serial champions Knights and against the Tigers Orange. We also end the season with a fourth best attack and a third best defence in the league.

"We finish the regular part of the season in 2nd place. The team has made progress and is known to work with different coaches. I'm glad we found a common language again after last year's breakup. The team is capable of much more, which we want to show in the final tournament. Throughout all the tournaments, we maintained a certain consistency in the game and did well in all the games this season. However, the season is far from over. We have two more difficult matches ahead of us, and the team is ready to take another step forward," said coach Aleš Makuc.

"This season, Frogs made significant progress in the game, both in terms of results and organization, but we still have a lot of room for improvement as individuals and as a team—both physically, technically and tactically. The framework of the team is young, and with good work, I believe that people will talk about the Ljubljana Frogs a lot on the Slovenian and European flag football scene. In the end, we deservedly took the final 2nd place in the regular season, which practically no one expected before the season. We are looking forward to the league final with optimism and confidence, where anything is possible," said offense captain Žan Ocvirk.

"I think we have shown what potential we have in the team this season. If someone offered us the second place at the start of the season, we would probably sign right away. Organizationally, we are bringing the team to a level that could compete with many teams in Europe. The framework of the team is young, the defence is also getting younger, and RJ (Williamson) is also holding us above the water with his work in defence. We've already proven that we can match any SFFL team, all that is needed are self-confidence and team spirit. We have run out of ammunition in the last two matches, but I believe that coach Makuc will bring a playbook to the final tournament containing some motivational speech. Last but not least, it is a great success to be second after regular season, but we still have the last two matches ahead of us in which we will have to prove ourselves and show what we are capable of. It is also time for the trophy to be brought to Ljubljana, and that is our primary goal," said defence captain Aljoša Kous.

We want to thank all the sponsors because we would not be where we are without them. 🐸
