Snap, Crackle, Pop: Women's Full-Contact Football Tryouts are here! Ladies, why let the guys have all the fun? Why be a fan when you can have the glory? The Tennessee Valley Tigers of the Independent Women's Football League will hold their first open tryout of the 2011 season on Saturday, August 28th. Tryouts will be held 4pm-6pm at Palmer Park, located at 574 Palmer Road in Madison, Alabama. In order to participate in the tryout, interested athletes must have proof of insurance and bring a $5 tryout fee. Come dressed in athletic apparel and bring cleats if you have them. Don't forget the water. Athletes will compete in agility drills, position-specific drills, ball drills for skill positions, and one-on-one drills for offensive linemen and defensive linemen. All roster positions are open. Last year, the majority of rookies added to the roster were discovered during several tryouts. Many of them crossed over to football with experience in other women's sports such as softball, soccer, basketball, track and volleyball. Some had no sports experience at all. Not sure if football is for you? We understand that many women don't get the opportunity to play full-contact tackle football. Our knowledgeable and experienced coaching staff will educate you about the game so you can play safely. The women of the Tigers range in all ages and sizes. Whether you are 18 or 50, feel free to come out and give it a try. You may just surprise yourself at how good you are! The Tigers will be in our third season in Huntsville in 2011. Teams the Tigers face range from the Memphis Belles, the Carolina Phoenix, the Clarksville Fox, and the Louisville Nightmare among others.

Mothers day was special for the Tigers in Baton Rouge La. The game started by honoring all the mothers
on both teams and the mothers of the players in the stands. Each mother received a rose provided by the
Fuel Staff. The Tigers had a hard fought
game but in the end came up with the first win of the season. The defense played big during the game causing
fumbles and making big stops. The Tigers
would like to congratulate Dionne Eatman for breaking the Tigers single game
rushing record and the season rushing title!

The home opener for the Tennessee Valley Tigers yielded many twists and
turns. Backup quarterback Kari Eso and runningback Dionne Eatman both
carried the torch at QB as veteran player Katie White was out with an
injury. Eatman rushed for over 140 yards but it wasn't enough for the
win. The Memphis Belles brought their running back, former Tiger
Marsheka "GT" Suttles, in for two touchdowns. The Belles came out on top
with a score of 28-0.
After a bye week, the Tigers will be travelling to visit the Chattanooga
Locomotion for the 3rd Annual Battle of the Border title. The game
starts a 7pm at Red Bank High School. The Tigers will return home on
Saturday, May 1 against the Clarksville Fox. As a special note, this
home game will be played at 7pm.
