B Division Teams
A Division teams:
Team Undecided
Roster Open: Yes
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.
Brendan Behan (formerly known as Midway)
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Jenna
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!
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.
Dirt Diggers
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Jen
The core group of Dirt Diggers has played together for several years. We are competitive, but more importantly, we like to have fun. Fun is what it’s all about! This close-knit group loves to spend time together. We like to hang out on the field after our games and support our friends on other teams. Then we hit the socials f or some darts and drinks. We tailgate flag football style, so plan to bring grills, good food and drinks. We have an annual trip to Vermont that has become a tradition. We also had a mean yankee swap last year! Our team members are great athletes and great people. We have very few openings left on our roster, but if you'd like more information you can contact Jen.
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 Natalie.
Revolution
Roster Open: No, By Appointment Only! ;)

B Division teams:
New Team Name TBD
Roster Open: Yes
Team Rep: Nicolle
After six years in the league, I am forming a brand new team! I'm looking to carry a roster of about 18 players. Currently the skill positions (receivers, running backs, linebackers, and cornerbacks) are filling up and I will be holding a tryout for those spots since I've received a lot of interest. I'm in need for one or two more strong women who can play the offensive or defensive line. No experience necessary! We will have practices one night a week starting in early August and continuing through the season, probably Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Contact me if you'd like to be a part of building a team, learning about the game, and most importantly, having a freaking great time while doing it.
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.
Nemesis
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Kim
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 2009 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.
Rebels
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Stacey
We are one of the newer teams in the league, starting our third season this year with the BWFFL. We have a variety of players extending from seasoned veterans who’ve been in the league for over 10 years to many new players just starting out this year. Together we make an upbeat, positive, slightly crazy team that likes to have a good time. But we also love to play great football!!! Go Rebels!!!
Tight Ends
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Nicole
The Tight Ends joined the league six years ago and are finally beginning to come into our own and gel as a team. We placed second last year! While we look forward to another competitive season, winning is equally as important to us as having a good time and having team camaraderie. The team has formed many friendships and we like to socialize after the games at the weekly football socials. We have some open spots this season and are excited to add some new women to the team. We look forward to hearing from you! Try-outs will be held in the near future please e-mail for details.
The Real Deal
Roster Open: No
Team Rep: Jamie
The Real Deal Flag Football Team is an old team with a new name and new sponsorship! Our team is sponsored for the 2009 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 closed for 2009 season.
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.
