Who are the Fighting Fillies?

The Portland Fighting Fillies are a team of women from all walks of life dedicated to promoting the sport of women’s football across the nation. We range from age 18 and up, and include college students, doctors, food service, lawyers, mothers, war veterans and many other professions. Most of our players live in the Portland Metro area, but we have a few that travel well outside the area to play the game they love. In our first season about half of the team had previous experience playing football, and for our second season most players returned, as well we are welcoming a new class of rookies. Our coaching staff comes from a variety of backgrounds, with impressive experience both on the field and off the field. The Fighting Fillies are a part of the American Conference of the Women’s Football Alliance. We are part of the National Conference N. Pacific Division. The WFA is growing exponentially, with 64 teams slated to play the 2011 Season, 20 more than last season.
