Boston Women's Flag Football League










							Parkers Roster Open: No Team Rep: Beth or Lisa Last year, the Parkers have shown that they really can't compete with Midway, JJ, Revolution, or anyone else in the B or A leagues - in regards to participation or longevity at the post-game socials. That's something we hope to change in the upcoming season. Our on-field capabilities, however, are much more honed. Coming off a Super Bowl appearance, we're looking to not only find our way back to the championship game, but to score at least one touchdown this time around. Our team is comprised of mainly ex-collegiate athletes who are addicted to an 'adrenalin fix' even if it's in a sport other than that of which we all previously excelled. There's no shortage of good natured competitiveness, enthusiasm, and passion while trying to emulate our gridiron idols (Brady, Belichick, Brown etc, etc). If the key to a Super Bowl championship is a short-term addiction to Jack Daniel's, which seems to work for our competitors, well...what's the number to the Betty Ford Clinic?? Midway Roster Open: No Team Rep: Tessa Midway: Long, long ago in a place not so far away, a twinkle in the eyes of a few turned into a dream for many. This group of women had something special... drive, guts, grit and a little extra testosterone. Before remote controls, before touch tone telephones, even before the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, there was the Midway Women's Flag Football Team. Also known as the Gridiron Goddesses of Girth, these women sacrificed smooth legs, eyeliner, and church so that they could do what they loved to do on Sunday. So, if you are willing to: take a berating without crying; sacrifice the body in order to make a catch; play in the A league; be the last one to leave The Midway after the game; do the rookie duty of participating in Butt Quarters; play anywhere without complaint; and, deal with the fact that Tessa does not wear any underwear, feel free to contact us to join The Midway! Jeanie Johnston Roster Open: No Team Rep: Nicole or Andrea The Jeanie Johnston Team (or Team JJ, as we are better known) somehow manages to be competitive (having won the A League Superbowl back-to-back in '05 & '06 and never missing the playoffs in the team's 5 year history) despite having arguably the best attendance, and indisputably the most longevity, at the post-game socials. In addition to routinely being the last team to leave the bars, we are often the last team to arrive at the field pre-game, so we are not very strong on "structure" or "discipline." That being said, we still hope to improve each year. No matter what, once we pull ourselves together and get on the field, we are very competitive (most of our players participated in sports at the collegiate level), while still managing to have fun. Bah Hoppas Roster Open: No Team Rep: Steph The Bah Hoppas are an eclectic group of girls. We range in age from 22-mid 30’s. The Bah Hoppas had an incredible season last year going undefeated and winning the B League Superbowl! This will be the Bah Hoppas 3rd season together. We are competitive and like to win but also love having fun, our team name doesn’t lie! We will try and have practices once a week probably near Jamaica Plain/Roslindale. We get along great and all enjoy hanging out after the games and outside of football. We are looking for girls that are fun, good athletes, and who will be ready to play every week. There are a few spots on the roster open with more of a need for defensive players and linesman but all positions will be considered. Please contact Steph at sportygirl585858@yahoo.com if you are interested in being a part of the Bah Hoppas! Toe Taggers Roster Open: No Team Rep: Ana The Toe Taggers have been part of Boston Women's Flag Football League since it's inception 11 years ago. Our original sponsor was Rogers and Mann Funeral home in Jamaica Plain. Originally our sponsors suggested we call ourselves "The Tombstones" but later came up with the name "The Toe Taggers". In honor of our macabre beginnings, we wear black football jerseys. We have played in both divisions and consider ourselves a competitive team. Most importantly, we are a close group of teammates and friends that like to have fun, on and off the field. We have filled our roster spots for the 2007 season. Fighting Irish Roster Open: No Team Rep: Paula or Nicolle The founders of this team, Paula Callaghan and Karen McCormack (of McCormack & Scanlan Real Estate) have been around since the start of the league in 1997. After years of playing on different teams, Karen encouraged Paula to form her own team in 2004. Irish athletes were recruited from other sports and learned as they went along. We advanced to the Super Bowl in our inaugural year with our fearless Irish-born leader, but had to rebuild the past couple years after losing several players. We are bringing back most of the roster from last year and look to improve and become a top contender once again. We want to win but we have fun even when we don't (on any given Friday, several members of the team can be seen tearing it up at Toast). Our roster is currently closed. Revolution Roster Open: No Team Rep:





							LAVA Roster Open: No Team Rep: Natalie LAVA is named for the defunct dance club and now sponsored by a lumber company, the women of Lava are a diverse and interesting crowd. We like to win, but enjoy socializing together after the games win or lose. Lava is looking for a few good position players as well as a couple of lineswomen. We typically practice one night per week (possibly Thursdays this year?) and game participation is based on skill level, attendance at practices and commitment to the team. If you'd like to know more about trying out for our team, please email Sue. Foul Play Roster Open: No Team Rep: Rebecca Foul Play currently has 1-2 open positions on the roster, particularly for lineswomen. As the Super Bowl champs from 2005, we are definitely a group of intense players, but as a group we are laid back and easy going. We will probably be practicing on Wednesday nights at a to be determined location. For more information please contact Rebecca. Robyn's Rebels Roster Open: No Team Rep: Jessica Previously we were team Karma, but to begin a fresh start in the B-division this year and to honor our new sponsor, Robyn's Bar and Grill in Rossie square, we have taken on a new name: Robyn's Rebels. Many of us are seasoned veterans that have been in the league for several years, but we've also picked up some terrific new talent this year. We all share a love of football and are here to have a great time!! Our roster is now full, but fans are always welcome and we can always use help with the sideline markers!!! Violent Femmes Roster Open: No Team Rep: Stephanie-Marie or Maia The Violent Femmes are one of the original teams of the Boston Women's Flag Football League. We are a welcoming bunch, who makes a concerted effort to play everyone on our roster. We are serious about football, but know how to have a good time on and off the field. We enjoy competing and watching the other teams play on Sundays. Many of us have been playing together since the early years and we have evolved into a cohesive unit of teammates, friends and loyal fans. WHAM! Roster Open: No Team Rep: WHAMflagfootball@yahoo.com WHAM! is sponsored by Pupperiffic! Care for animal companions. The 2007 season marks our 4th year in the Boston Women's Flag Football League. We are looking forward to another fun and exciting year! Our roster is closed for 2007 season. Nemesis Roster Open: No Team Rep: Kim Nemesis is a team that is hitting its stride after a few years of rebuilding. Our main focus is to have fun but we can also get quite competitive and intense. Most of our players are from the Roslindale area though we do have those that travel in from abroad (Medford). In the past our practices have been at Healy Field and we usually alternate days week to week to accomodate everyone's schedules. To be fair to other teams that need players but also being fair to those that want to join I would say we have a large number of players returning this year so we do not really have a need for more players at this time. C League Roster Open: No Team Rep: Pam C League is an enthusiastic 3 year-old team of players who value mutual respect, the strategy of the game, and having fun. Although winning is great and that is what we always strive to do, we are not an "at all costs" kind of team. We are more about fairness, fun, and striving for continued improvement. The roster is currently closed. RoadKill Roster Open: No Team Rep: Sherry Roadkill is the founding team of the Boston Women's Flag Football League, which started 11 years ago in Jamaica Plain. The whole league started because Kerri Heffernan thought it would be great to have a football team with the name Roadkill and the cheer, "We stink because we're dead." We still have the same cheer before games despite a turnover in players (there are 2 original players still on the team) and never imagined the league to grow so much. We like to play hard and have fun in the process. Our roster is currently closed.
