Introducing the Louisiana Fuel, an all women's full contact, full tackle football team based out of Baton Rouge. And yes, they do hit, and yes, they do tackle! They are gearing up for their 3rd season in a drive to be the next champions of their league. That league is the Independent Women's Football League (IWFL), a full tackle women's football league. The league was established to create a positive, safe, and fun environment for the women who play the game and fans that come out to watch them. There are currently over 1000 women playing the sport for more than 48 IWFL teams across North America.
The Fuel was founded in 2006 by a group of female athletes who shared a common goal - to play tackle football. Our players come from all walks of life to play the sport. They have professional careers, are college students and even mothers. This is the best kept secret in this area. Come help The Fuel spread the word and become a Fuel player and supporter. Several Fuel players already have 5 years experience the league. They are striving to build that foundation into a championship team. If you have that determination, fight, willingness to motivate yourself, and looking to excel at a new endeavor, the Fuel wants you! Scheduled Games run from April to June.
