Women's Football Leagues

Most people think of tackle football as a man's sport. But in 1999 and 2000, two major women's football leagues were established toward the goal of promoting football as a sport that women can play as well as men.

The Women's Professional Football League formed back in 1999, but later dissolved in 2008. The Independent Women's Football League, on the other hand, was founded in 2000 and has over forty teams and over 1,000 women across the US and Canada playing under its wing.

Background of the Dallas Diamonds Football Team

Initially, the Dallas Diamonds football team played under the Women's Professional Football League or WPFL, where it won several championships from 2004 to 2006. When the WPFL was dissolved in 2008, the team joined the IFWL under the Western Conference - Midsouth Division.

The Dallas Diamonds proved to be a staunch team under excellent leadership, and recently became the Midsouth division champion. During the next few weeks, the Dallas Diamonds football team will be facing teams from two other divisions, and hopefully be able to make it to the finals of the league.

Playing for Other Causes

While they look tough and intimidating, the Dallas Diamonds football team members also show their feminine side through their participation in at least two causes.

The team donated two dollars out of each game ticket sold for their first two games this year to breast cancer research. They also joined forces with the American Heart Association during the current season to donate two dollars out of every game ticket sold for the cause of combating and finding cures for heart disease.

The tough Dallas Diamonds star captain has also a soft side for children with special needs, and conducts adaptive physical education classes. The goal is to help special kids get integrated into regular sports activities at school.
