We are one, Together.

We really want dedicated women who are eager to learn and have some type of athletic background. Many sports such as basketball and soccer translate very well onto the football field but really having

any type of background in sports, however small is helpful. Remember we are looking for women of ALL shapes and sizes!

Due to the lack of a girl’s football program, almost 90% of our players have never played football before playing competitive football as an adult. Our veteran players are more than happy to help you, they also have a great understanding of your development, as they went through it themselves! Our coaches will train you on everything you need to know from what a first down is to tackling to learning your playbook. What we really need is dedicated women who are eager to learn!

 Of course being in-shape would be awesome, but we will get you in shape! Before the season begins, we offer an off-season free strength and conditioning program to help you "get in better shape" before the season begins. Remember football needs women of all shapes and sizes. An o-line player and a wide receiver do not need to have the same amount of cardio or the same strength!

Like any sport, especially a contact, physical sport such as football, there will be injuries. The most common are pulled muscles and sprains. Of course you can decrease your risk by being in-shape, properly warming up and working on flexibility. We have athletic trainers on the sidelines, strength and conditioning coaches who can help you rehab, and coaches who won't push you if you’re

hurting.

The Carolina Scorpion home games are played at 7 Oaks Park in Columbia, SC.

Pre-Season workouts begin immediately, we will have mini camps & Football 101 classes with team 3x a week practices will start in January with the 1st game of the season usually the 1st weekend of April. We play 8 games, 4 home and 4 away with playoffs happening in early July and then National Championships at the end of July.

We have tryouts every other month. Open Practices are announced on our page! 

The Carolina Scorpion Potential Players group. This group is open and you can add yourself to the group. In this group we will make announcements, go over workouts, discuss upcoming events and support each other. We STRONGLY recommend you be in this group! We also post on Twitter, IG, Our Fan FB page and more.

18yrs old by our 1st game day. If you are under 18 and want to participate in team activities like practices, workouts, and training sessions, parental permission will be required & allowed.

Absolutely not.

The Carolina Scorpion uniform consists of a  home & away jersey, 1 pair of football pants which are all provided for you and paid for by team fees. There are other items you will need such as: Helmet, Pads, Cleats (nonmetal), Girdle, Practice jersey & Mouthpiece. Optional items would be things like gloves, undershirts etc. Another great resource is the Vets on the team as they will sell and loan equipment sometimes.

How are players evaluated at tryouts?

Potential players will be evaluated based on agility and overall athletic ability, offensive and defensive skills, passion, and coach ability. If you don’t know much about football that’s completely ok – it’s more about your willingness to learn and ability to learn quickly.

The Carolina Scorpion is a member of the United States Women's Tackle Football League (USWL).

There is a definite correlation between teams that have good attendance and teams that win. We highly encourage attendance, but we understand that players have jobs and families outside of the team. We do expect players to have 70% attendance however communication with your coach is key.

If you decide to leave you will be under contract with the Carolina Scorpion so you cannot play for another team unless released by the Scorpion. Also, all monies for team fees/sponsorships are NON refundable and you ARE responsible for your remaining team fees dues. If you are injured it is up to the team owner regarding the remaining team fees due.

Yes We highly recommending 

No, it is yours to keep

We know things happen and child care is expensive. There is a playground next to our field so potentially kids can play there or near our field. However, we can’t have kids on the field during practice for safety concerns

NO, but we will have to play in the rain. Coaches will make a judgement call regarding the weather and safety and you will be notified accordingly.

The cost of the training fee is $400.00. Fee sheets will be given to each player explaining where your dues are going. There will be Fundraisers to help pay off your fees. You can also have sponsorship to help pay off your training due as well.
