New Direction for 2008

The University of Vermont Club Football Team will be taking on a new schedule for the 2008-2009 season. In 2007, the team competed in an amateur, or “semi-pro” football league, the Northeast Independent Football League. The team had a successful year, and went 5-3 during the regular season, and 1-1 during the playoffs, only to lose in the semi-finals against the Vermont Ravens based out of Barre, VT. However, the team has chosen to take a different route in 2008.  

The UVM Club Football team will be competing on an independent Division III Junior Varsity Schedule. The UVM team will be competing against the JV teams from schools such as Williams College, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, and St. Lawrence. The club believes that integrating itself into the collegiate environment will do a couple things for the program. In doing this, the team will draw more attention to itself by competing against very strong football programs. We hope to draw larger crowds to the games and receive more support from the community and school. In addition, the team hopes to attract stronger players to the program. 
  
The UVM Club Football Team will still continue to hold their home games at Burlington High School, but there is a possibility that it will be limited to only two or three. For the first year of this independent schedule, the team may find itself traveling a little more. Nevertheless, there are strong hopes and a lot of excitement surrounding this change. Hopefully it will be for the best.
