About PFL
The Philly Faceoff League was created by two coaches who share a love for the faceoff position.
John Bodnar and Mike Dolente are former Cabrini College players who specialize in working with faceoff guys at various levels. John and Mike both share a frustration, however, when it comes to faceoff midfielders getting the proper training they deserve. It was at Cabrini where they met and would always talk about how faceoff guys never really had a place to go and practice.
For the last 9 years, the PFL has been preparing face off players of all ages to excel at the next level — whatever that may be for the individual athlete.
We are currently the only faceoff clinic in the area with three coaches working simultaneously each week, which allows us to support players at every stage of their development.
We have players from grade 3 all the way up to the college level working every Sunday to get better. We’re proud that these efforts each season have solidified the Philadelphia area as the premiere hotbed for faceoff specialists, and more importantly, we’re proud of the growth that each of our players has made, whether that is winning their first live faceoffs in a game situation, becoming a varsity starter, committing to play at the NCAA level, or anything in between.
The Philly Faceoff League is built on supporting players with specific instruction and instilling a fierce competitive mindset within them.
What People Are Saying
“
When you take a very large boy who is out of contention within 5 face offs at his first meeting at PFL and turn him into one of the top 3 F/O guys in tri-state area in less then a year? — need I say more? John and Mike made a beast out of my son at the X! Hands down best in the business!

PFL has been an incredible way for our son to learn technique, get in reps and to have fun. The coaches are the best and they also invest a lot of time in the recruitment process if your kid is looking to play in college. Our son looks forward to going each week and has made a ton of faceoff friends.
