(see qualifications below)

Although we prefer to have athletes that have previous football experience, exceptions are made for good athletes with football potential.

Applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 45. High school athletes must turn 18 before the first game or sit out games until they turn 18. College players with remaining eligibility and high school seniors will not loose college eligibility.

Many players that have joined our team come to us for various reasons.

HOW DO YOU COMPARE TO A TYPICAL PLAYER ON THE TEAM?

"CLICK HERE"

Type one is men ages 25-40, that played either high school or college football and want the chance to put on the pads again. They love the game of football and want to be part of a team and share the field of battle with their teammates.

Type two is men ages 21-24, have recently or just graduated from a University, Junior or Community college and they are unable to get on with a pro team.

They are looking to keep in shape and develop their skills while they await future tryouts. Or they just want to continue to play.

Type three is men that have just graduated from high school (18-23) and are good athletes; however, they may not be able to afford to go to college. Some of these young men may have been overlooked by local schools or are attending a school that does not have a football program. Many players at the minor league level use their film to get college’s attention and scholarships.

Type four is that every season a few Indoor football league players come out just to have some fun and keep in shape during their off season.

Whatever the reason you want to be part of this team, you must understand this: we are building what will be the best team in the country; both on and off the field. We play in a beautiful stadium, travel to our games by bus and have begun to gain media exposure. Our image both on and off the field are important to us. We will only carry men that are hard working, committed to what they do and have character both on and off the field.

If you are interested in joining this team, then call 605-528-3099 or 605-728-2139 to set up an interview or contact us via e-mail at: dakotalawdawgs@hotmail.com.
