Did you know that there was such a thing as the Women’s Professional Football League? Would you believe that the league has 17 teams? At MS Las Vegas Real Estate, we admit that we didn’t have a clue! But now we know, because the Showgirlz are the newest addition to the WPFL and the team calls Las Vegas home! This is no joke. These girls play full-contact tackle football and the rules are the same as the NFL. The roster is a full-scale 45 players and the team plays in the West Division of the American Conference. The home field for the Showgirlz is Valley High School and over 400 fans came out for the season opener on July 29th. Quarterback and team leader Shawna Kennelly is a UNLV graduate with three years of professional experience. Dion Lee is the founder, co-owner and head coach of the team. Does your daughter play sports? Take her to a game! Tickets are just $8 for adults and $3 for kids. Spend an afternoon with the family and support this new professional team as they grow within the Las Vegas community!
