Nine of those teams are in the women&#;s division, hailing from cities all over the Joined States. Denver brought two of them—Mile High Club Red and Mile Elevated Club Blue.

&#;I missed playing competitive sports after college and football was a way for me to get that competitive fix,&#; the year-old Koehler says. A friend in the league convinced her to join and, appreciate many of the DGLFFL players, she came in with no previous football expe
