NASHVILLE, TN - The National Women's Football Association has announced that Impossible Dream Sports, LLC is moving the Toledo Spitfire to Ann Arbor, Michigan this fall in preparation for the 2007 season.

The decision is based on a variety of considerations including facilities and the availability of players in a sports-oriented market. "This is not something we?re doing on a whim; we thought long and hard about making the move. Ann Arbor offers many things we feel are necessary to give our team the opportunity to really be competitive in all aspects of the game that we simply don't have in Toledo," says managing partner, Val Sharpe. "We will certainly miss the people of Rossford (OH) Parks &Recreation as well as the Rossford Exempted Village School Board. They were always very good to us."

The NWFA is very supportive of the move. "Val's a great owner and we believe this move will take his team to a new level. He will have access to many more talented athletes and a bigger market overall," states league CEO, Catherine Masters.

The team will be hosting tryouts at the WideWorld Sports Center located at 2140 Oak Valley Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48103. Please visit womensfootballcentral.com and treetownspitfire.com for dates and times.
