March has arrived and it is time to start talking Minor League Football. The NEPA Miners are excited to entertain our fans on and off the field in 2008. This may be the best football product that this level of football has seen in NEPA since the seventies and eighties. North Eastern Pennsylvania is a huge football and minor league sports area. Semi-Pro football has declined in recent years and that is why the Miners organization markets itself as minor league. “We are doing things at this level of football that are rarely done, “stated team President and Head Coach Dan LaMagna. The Miners provide the most affordable night of family entertainment in our area and will be entertaining all over NEPA in the upcoming months. Their coaches just completed two weeks of coaching clinics as they offer athletes trying to play ball after high school and college the best football experience in the area. The Miners offer a practice simulated like a Division I practice, on field equipment, area business discounts, employment opportunities and the opportunity to advance to higher levels. The team will be highlighting defensive standout Malcolm Singleton and their newest Miner Girl Tiffany Fasulo at the Steamtown Mall this month; The team is recruiting interested football players and Miners Girls to join us for our quest of a 2008 National Title playing out of the Regional American Football League. The next team meetings for players will be March 12th at the Scranton Hilton as coaches will start teaching their systems and signing players in preparation for the season. Their final tryout will be April 12th as all veterans must attend as well. More event information will be announced in upcoming weeks and months.
