Whooping not wopping and football is not like baseball we have pads lots of pads you should know that baseball is sponsered by the yankees orioles they get money we need money to start we are coming out of our pockets with the money then alot more for pads baseball gets a bat helmet and uniform we have jerseys, helmets, shoulder pads, thigh and knee pads, cleats, practice uniforms, practice gear, and dummies you should be good for that mark something off our list but you get the point so unless you have someone to play please stay off the thread. Anyone who wants to play if you read the thread we dont know what the total price to sign up is. Questions call 2405773580 thank you

(Zguy28):Im putting together a semi-pro team in st marys.25 semi-pro players,leave the county to play in Charles and Calvert. Putting a new team together cost around $50,000.The $10,000 i donated just scratches the surface, equipment costs alone are $18,000.League fees are around $10,000.Semi-pro football and semi-pro baseball are two different sports. It seems that baseball has a much better program of paying players,i cant answer why the local leagues are non-pay,but we dont belong to any NFL teams like in baseball.Being part of semi-pro last year ,i watched in some cases of 60 to 70 guys coming out and by the end of the year 26 to 30 were still showing up for games and practices.These wopping prices you point out are no so wopping when you look at a spread sheet. In some cases nation wide you must have a $500.00 sign up,$500.00 per player for equipment,$1000.00 sponsorship and still have to do fundraisers. Thats why $750.00 to play semi-pro ball is not so bad.Any additional info can be obtained from www.semi-pro football.com link Diamond football league.com Bill Williams.

Thanks Bill. At least you are capable of answering the question intelligently.

Can't say as much for the other guy.

I am interested in playing semi-pro football but every time I try to call that number it gives me something about the verizon cusotmer you are trying to reach isnt available blah blah blah I was just wonder if there is another number or am I calling too late. I try calling between 8 pm and 830pm. I was just hoping to get more information and to find out where the meeting will be taking place.
