The Wisconsin Warriors, LLC was created to promote a healthy environment for women to play a so-called "man's sport". Most girls grew up playing soccer, doing gymnastics, twirling batons, playing the flute - the things we all were told little girls should do. Now that we've all grown up a bit, it's time to stand up, get out there and be seen by the world. Time to get out there and show everyone, that we too, can play that "man's sport".
We hope to be the role models for future generations of women's football players. The Warriors wish to focus our efforts on the communities that support us. You will see this through charity work, volunteering, motivational speaking and by promoting other groups and events in the area.
