As a young girl, Leilani Caamal longed to trade her pom-poms for a helmet, shoulder pads and a football. She got that chance at age 9 and hasn’t looked back.
As a young girl, Leilani Caamal longed to trade her pom-poms for a helmet, shoulder pads and a football.
“Initially I was pushed to do cheerleading by my family and everybody else. Everyone kept telling me that girls can’t and don’t play football, but I always knew I wanted to play. I was determined.” “We’re not flag football or lingerie football or any other sort like powderpuff,” Flato-Dominy said. “It’s the same physicality as the men’s game, and we’re playing college rules with college refs. We have some players who have come from horrible backgrounds, who have gotten out of the gang life, and this team is their savior. We’ve got all walks of life on this team, which is really cool.”
Beyond Caamal , the Blaze are highlighted by 38-year-old quarterback/safety Kimberly Santistevan, 39-year-old wideout/quarterback/defensive back Smooth Lowery-Jones, 40-year-old linebacker/fullback Yolanda Searcy, and 32-year-old linebacker/wideout Stephanie Skinner. The Renegades are the WFA’s best team and will play for their fourth title on July 9 in the Pro championship game. They have backing from the Patriots, as New England owner Robert Kraft loaned them his jet for the championship game last year and head coach Bill Belichick recently gave the team a $10,000 grant.
