The preparations for the teams in Argentina’s Córdoba American Football League – CFA – for the 2017 season included the annual rookie camp which was a huge success.

Thirty-six players successfully completed the 2017 March rookie camp, including three CFA free agents. The March camp included five training days and one combined day (1 of the dates was suspended due to bad weather). The number of players who attended the camp per team grew by 40% compared to the 2016 March camp and by 100% over the October camp (statistics taken from Cóndores team).

The draw of the league dates was held at the Distrikt Club in Córdoba April 8, when the new players were introduced. The league draft was held and the three free agents where allocated teams according to the picks delegated to each team.
