IFL and Arena Football Leagues will start next Sunday.

Last week Panthers Under15 Flag Team started his season with a great win in Grosseto; now it's time for tackle football. This week-end Panthers (IFL League) and Pantere (Arena League) will begin their season.

The first team to take the field will be Parma Pantere: kick-off saturday at 9pm against Ravenna Chiefs. The roster of this team is full of young players and a lot of them were members of the under17 team that won the Italian Championship last year. In addition, a couple of veteran players (like Simone Scatola and Matteo Malpeli) have joined the young players and will help them during the season.

A lot of guys who played for Pantere's team last year, this season have been promoted to Panthers senior team: Tunnera Andrea, Francani Nicola, Dioni Luca, Caggiati Filippo, Bulgac Maxim, Mutti Nadir, Canali's brothers and Grigolo Matteo now play for Panthers senior team.

Panthers season will begin Sunday, in Reggio Emilia, against the Hogs. Kick-off at 3:00 pm.

After loosing 3 finals in 3 years, this time the Panthers look for a win in at least one of the 2 competitions (IFL League and EFAF Cup) they take part.

The skilled italian group is completed by the talented USA players: Joe Craddock (QB), Craig McIntyre (WR) and Ryan Tully (RB/LB).


GO PANTHERS!!!
