West Division teams:
King Pins
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Melanie
Like a remake of an B-rated action film, Team Undecided is both familiar and new and for the 2010 season. The core of the team consists of former members of the Fighting Irish who decided to stay in A league when the Irish chose to move down to B league. Team Undecided is competitive and hard-working, but we also know how to kick back and have fun. Work hard, play hard. This is our first year as a new team, so we're looking to pick up some new players to help us rebuild. Positions we are most in need of are: Wide receiver, corner, safety and linemen.
Jeanie Johnston
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Cathy
The JJ is looking for linemen, (offensive and defensive) as well as a couple of skill position players. If you played basketball, hockey, softball, rubgy (or pretty much anything) in college shoot us an email. The Jeanie Johnston Team (or Team JJ, as we are better known) somehow manages to be competitive (having won 2 of the past 3 Superbowls and never missing the playoffs in the team's 6 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.
Toe Taggers
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Karen
The Toe Taggers enter the 2008 season with seven returning players and the rest are newcomers to the team. Headed up by Karen Belletete and Michelle Casey, the Toe Taggers return to gain respect on the field, on both the offensive and defensive ends. We are looking forward to our new talented athletes to add a mix of strength & support to the team. The Toe Taggers have been part of Boston Women's Flag Football League
since it's inception 12 years ago. Our original 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 are looking forward to the 2008 season. Our roster is currently filled.
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.
Revolution
Roster Open: No, By Appointment Only! ;)

Central Division teams:
Hail Marys (formerly known as Brendan Behan/Midway)
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Jenna
Hail Mary, don't fall on your face.
Our Lord is a pint of pale honey,
Blessed art thou among flag football women,
and blessed is the pigskin, like fruit in my womb,
Jesus! I scored!
Hail Mary, Mother of all teams,
pray for Dee and the rest of the lot,
now and at the hour of the other team's death.
Amen
Who is Mary? Mary J. Blige of course. What is her motto? Well, it is the same as ours. "No more drama." Come join us if you want to play and have a good time. Don't come join us if you want a fight, a fan club, a girlfriend, a sponsor or an ESPN highlight.
LAVA
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Tori
LAVA is named for the defunct dance club and now sponsored by a lumber company.
The Lava women are a mix of ages and skill level but have been together for a
number of years. We like to win, and 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 Tori.
Fighting Irish
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Paula
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 next couple years after losing several players. We are bringing back almost all 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. Our roster is currently closed.
Rebels
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Stacey
We are the Rebels. We are seasoned veterans. We are rookie newbies. Together we are a diverse and strong group of upbeat, positive, and slightly crazy women. Financially, we are our own sponsors, and we’re damn proud of it. We are all dedicated to giving 100% on the field, but we’re also committed to bringing the fun each and every game. Go Rebels!!
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.

East Division teams:
Costello's/Nemesis
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Camille and Andrea
Nemesis is a nice balance of BWFFL vets and newer players who are out to have fun and play a little football on Sunday's. We are sponsored by Costello's Bar and Grill in Jamaica Plain and can be found there almost every Sunday afternoon. We are currently seeking a few players to round out our roster for the 2011 season.
Tight Ends
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Katie
The Tight Ends joined the league seven years ago and are finally beginning to come into our own and gel as a team. We look forward to a competitive season this year, with a lot of fun thrown in the mix. The team has formed many friendships. We like to socialize after the games and you can often find us out together on the weekends. Our roster is currently open for the 2011 season.
The Real Deal
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Yvonne
The Real Deal Flag Football Team is an old team with a new name and new sponsorship! Our team is sponsored for the 2010 season by the Real Deal Deli of West Roxbury and Jamaica Plain. Several members of our team have been playing in the Boston Women's Flag Football League for over five years now, but the majority of our team is comprised of women who have only been playing football for a year or two. We like to have fun and we make sure that everyone gets the opportunity to play in every game. Regardless of whether we win or lose, you will always find members of the Real Deal at the after-game Socials! We are looking forward to a fun and exciting year! Our roster is now open for the 2010 season.
Renegades
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Nicolle
The 2010 season was our first season as the Renegades. Made up of mostly rookies and a few veterans who have been in the league for several years, we improved a lot over the course of the season, and more importantly formed a tight bond with each other. Currently all positions ave been filled. We will have practices one night a week starting in early August and continuing through the season.
Violent Femmes
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Monica
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.
