Omaha, NE - United Indoor Football announced this morning the creation of a player development department and the hiring of Jarrod Rogol as coordinator of player development. Rogol says he can't wait to get to work. "The people I've talked to in the UIF have outstanding personalities, and I look forward to working with everyone around the league. There is a lot of work ahead in order to make player development a key part of the league," he said. Rogol also knows how important this is for the league.

Crow followed by saying, "The decision to bring Jarrod in as coordinator of player development is one that will greatly benefit the league. His knowledge of indoor football as well as his strong relationships within the indoor and arena football community are both welcome additions."
