NIFL Appoints New Director of Football Operations

August 10, 2004 - National Indoor Football League (NIFL) News Release


Lafayette, LA--The National Indoor Football League is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. John Blackmore to the position of Director of Football Operations filling the gap left behind by Mrs. Tina Johnson in December 2003.

Mr. Blackmore of Bellaire, Ohio currently serves on the Executive Committee representing the Atlantic North Division and is General Manager and Director of Player Personnel for the Ohio Valley Greyhounds.

Blackmore's experience in indoor football stems back to the Steel Valley Smash of the now defunct Indoor Football League. He has been involved with the Ohio Valley Greyhounds since its inception in 2001 as Director of Football Operations moving into the General Manager's position in the fall of 2002. His knowledge of the ins and outs of football comes from a life-long love of the game.

"After serving on the Executive Committee for the past two years, John has a feel for the needs of an up and coming league," NIFL President Carolyn Shiver said. "He has seen all of the good things this league has to offer to its owners, fans and players and has also dealt with the problems that come from the maturing of a new organization."
