Divas will attempt to accomplish an unparalleled feat: back-to-back championships in two completely different leagues. Several successful seasons in the National Women’s Football Association culminated in a 2006 NWFA Championship, the first title in franchise history. This year, however, the Divas begin play in the Independent Women’s Football League, (IWFL). “No one is more proud of our accomplishments than I am, but 2006 is over,” said Head Coach Ezra Cooper. “Again, in 2007, we have set our sights high. I will do everything in my power to meet them.” General Manager Rich Daniel echoed that sentiment. “We are excited by the prospect of playing some of the best teams in the world. Our fans will see some great football this spring.” Founded in 2000, the IWFL is an international women’s tackle football organization, represented in 34 different markets across the United States and Canada. The Divas quest for back-to-back championships kicks-off April 28th, 2007, against the New England Intensity at the Prince George’s County Sports & Learning Complex. Season tickets are available on-line through the team website, http://www.dcdivas.com. Practices leading up to the season opener will be held at Sasser Field, 14201 School Lane, in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Sasser Field is adjacent to the P.G. County Board of Education Building. Practice Schedule: Saturday, April 14th, 2007, noon -2:30pm Tuesday, April 17th, 2007, 7:30pm-9:30pm Thursday, April 19th, 2007, 7:30pm-9:30pm Saturday, April 21st, 2007, 10am-12pm Tuesday, April 24th, 2007, 7:30pm-9:30pm Thursday, April 26th, 2007, 7:30pm-9:30pm The Divas are comprised of women of varied professional and athletic backgrounds from all over the Washington metropolitan area.
