New York, NY - On Monday, January 11^th at 9pm (EST) on E!, three members of the New York Sharks Women’s Pro Football Team enter that not-so-rarefied world of fringe celebrities on reality TV. The new Ryan Seacrest-produced E! reality show "Bank of Hollywood," unites a panel of celebrities to dish out money to people with the most compelling needs for cash and the New York Sharks players have an international need.

 

The three Sharks request funding for their training in the first ever International Federation of American Football (IFAF) Women’s World Championship to be held in Stockholm, Sweden in June, 2010. USA Football (www.usafootball.com) and the Independent Women’s Football League (www.iwflsports.com) will be choosing IWFL coaches and players to field USA Football’s 2010 Women’s National Team, which will compete in the 6-nation competition.

 

The Sharks will be hosting a celebrity meet-n-greet at their viewing party on
Monday, January 11^th at 8pm. The location of the event can be found at www.nysharksfootball.com. 

 

After eleven seasons of play, the NY Sharks remain the longest operating women’s tackle football team in America! The team is currently home to 60 female football players from the tri-state area. The Sharks are one of over fifty member teams of the Independent Women’s Football League, a nation-wide league.
