After 4 years, the Panthers Under 21 team is back and, starting from October 4, will play for the Italian Championship. The first game will be at home against the Milano Rhinos. Paolo Borchini, the Head Coach, will have a roster filled of players which dominated the Under 17 and the Under 18 championships (in 2007 and 2008).

Two of them (QB Tommaso Monardi and DE Michele Canali) last month played with the Italian National Team in the European Championship. The other "veterans" players are RB Alessandro Malpeli Avalli, TE Enrico Bergonzani, linemen Marcello Musi and Erik Pasini. In addition, some players (CB Nicola Francani, LB Maxim Bulgac and WR Matteo Grigolo), which have already played with the Panthers senior team, are on the roster.

Parma will play in the West Division, with Brugherio Daemons, Milano Rhinos and Reggio Emilia Hogs.
