About Arena Football: Arena football consists of 8 players vs. 8 players on an indoor football field. The field is artificial turf and is played on a 50 yard field surrounded by a padded wall.  It is not uncommon for scores to reach the 60s and 70s in the NIFL. While on offense there are 3 linemen, 1 QB, 1 RB and 3 WRs. Forward motion is allowed in the NIFL. Defense play consists of 3 linemen, 1 Linebacker, and 4 DBs All kicks are live ball and there are no punts in the NIFL. FG’s are returnable for Touchdowns if missed. This is a fast paced, intense game designed to be high impact and high scoring.

Hey Dustin!!!!

Ya payin' attention????    ???

[AshlyHasBeen]

I've talked to his dad about that in August but he said that Dustin doesn't want to have anything to with football now. I think Attaberry from Nederland is on this years team. Also Tony Eckert is supposed to play for the Copperheads in AF2

Just out of curiosity, what kind of talnet do these guys have??  What are the height, weight and 40 times of some of the players. Is it like a semi pro team or a step up from that???

[NedDog]

I haven't heard too much about this year's roster.  Several of our standout players from years past are now with Coach Blake and the Texas Copperheads of af2.

Okay, I've got a friend who was looking into it. I think he's got a shot, as long as you don't have to be 260 and run a 4.4, he should be fine. He's a pretty good athlete.

Where are the copperheads based out of?

[NedDog]

The Texas Copperheads are the former Katy Copperheads of the 2006 NIFL.  Since the NIFL has franchise rights in Katy and the AFL has franchise rights in Houston, the Copperheads are now based in the Cy Fair area (NW Houston).  Their games will be played in the brand new Berry Center.
