My name is Coach Caldwell head football coach for the Sarasota Knights of the National Indoor Football League. We are holding try-outs in Tampa on Saturday February 24th @ 9am Location: Riverfront Park and in Sarasota March 3rd @ 10am Location:TBA. Please pass this information along to any potential prospects. Please bring football shoes, running shoes, and a bio. If you have any questions contact Coach A. Walker @ 813.850.8052 or visit http://www.nifl.com

That makes two of sixteen teams known now, the Tasers and Knights.

According to the 11/30/07 article from bradenton.com posted on OSC, we also have the Florida Knights of the American Professional Football League playing 30 miles north of Sarasota at the Manatee Convention and Civic Center. That's a pretty big stretch for the lower-level APFL going to Florida.

It's ISO 9001 certified. Too bad the NIFL football league isn't. (Of course someone once told me that a machine that mangles the operator's arm could be ISO 9001 certified as long as it mangles arms in a consistent, uniform manner.)

I don't see anybody from Topeka, Council Bluffs, Springfield, Mo., or Conroe making any trips to Florida anytime soon. The travel for a team in Florida would be killer.
Someone must have misspoke about this one.

Two Florida teams contacted the APFL. Both teams said they would subsidize travel for any team that traveled to Florida. We all have heard this before, and it never seems to get done.

The APFL let the Knights in.

You aren't far off. You also must document a procedure on how to mangle one's arm in said machine.

I've seen some unbelievable crap come from ISO certified vendors.

I think that ".cn" is China.

Why post tryout info on a Chinese website?

Because only a Chinaman would want to play for this organization! LOL
