Coach Mac - A Gold Medal Winner

We all know what Coach Mac brings to the table for our Wisconsin Warriors and knew that Team USA was in good hands under Mac’s tutelage. It was a great honor for Mac, it was a well deserved and well earned selection. Coach Mac helped lead the ladies to a gold medal victory
by defeating Austria 63-0, Finland 72-0 and Canada 66-0. Congratulations to Team USA and our very own Coach Mac! We are very proud of you.

Warriors Set Roster -
Welcome 16 New additions to the 2010 team
On January 30, 2010, the Wisconsin Warriors held their first official team meeting followed by the first practice of the year as the defending IWFL North American Champions.
An amazing 19 of 21 players will return from the 2009 roster to defend their title. More amazing is the 16 additional players added to this season's roster.
Head Coach, Norm Killion said, "We were looking for athletes with focus and desire. They just kept coming out of the woodwork and boy are we excited to have a full team to practice with and to compete with."
The Warriors open their 2010 IWFL season against the well respected Chicago Force. "We feel that our meetings with Chicago are a great challenge and also a measuring stick in our development", said Killion.
"If we can be competitive with the Chicago's and the Kansas City's of the IWFL, we feel good about our 2010 schedule"
The Warriors begin twice weekly practices for the month of February and accelerate to three weekly practices in March. "Once games start, practices go back to twice a week to put in game plans for each different
opponent."
Although the Warriors open their home season on April 17th at Kenosha's Ameche Field, they will christen their new home for the remainder of the 2010 season at brand new Indian Trail Academy stadium also
in Kenosha.
Warriors congratulate Coach Mac
The Warriors would like to say congratulations to their newly appointed Assistant Head Coach, Mark "Mac" McLaughlin. Mac uses a caring and nurturing style of coaching, as well as his constant attention to detail and the overall teaching of this great team sport to make each player feel valued and to make each player the best that she can be. Way to go Coach!

Wisconsin Warriors have made IWFL history!
The Wisconsin Warriors finished their IWFL season like the Cinderella story it began as. The Warriors began their 2009 season full of doubt and uncertainty. No one would have imagined that they would have made it all the way to the big show, much less have a chance at winning it. The Warriors gathered all their might and trekked on down to Round Rock Texas. With temperatures over 120 degrees on the field,
the Warriors came to battle the defending champion Montreal Blitz. The Blitz appeared to not take the Warriors seriously right out of the gate, as the Warriors score first. The Warriors continue to score and only allow 2 touchdowns to be scored on them. Final score? 42-14! THE WARRIORS WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP! The Warriors have made IWFL history as the youngest franchise to win a championship and the smallest rostered team
to win a championship. Thank you to everyone who supported us in our journey this season. Tryouts start back up in October!
