The Syracuse Shock Adult Minor League football team is thrilled to announce they will be playing their home games at the D. Donald Distin Athletic Complex located at G.

The nine member EFL consists of Upstate New York teams in Albany, Amsterdam, Glens Falls, Plattsburgh, Rochester, Syracuse, Watertown, in addition to Burlington, Vermont and Montreal, Canada.
The Shock finished 26-4 over the past 2 seasons.

They went on to win the Empire Division and Eastern Regional titles of the NAFL and finished 13-1 (13-2 with pre-season loss) with their only loss of the regular season coming to the number one team in the country.
In 2011, the Syracuse Shock joined the EFL and continued their winning ways by going 2-0 in preseason and 10-0 in regular season play.
