Welcome to the 24thKelly McGillis ClassicI want to welcome all the teams and

fans to the island and thank all the

team contacts who have organized

their teams. Thanks to everyone who

booked your stay through the IWFFA,

which helps to subsidizes the tourna-

ment! Many thanks to our team owners, officials, advertisers, spon-

sors, volunteers and all who make this event possible!

There are no big corporate sponsors funding this tournament. It is

the Mom & Pop / local businesses who are supporting the tourna-

ment! I ask our teams to patronize the advertisers you see in this

tournament program, because if we didn't have their support, we

could not afford to produce the tournament. Please let them know

you are with the Kelly McGillis Classic!

Kelly McGillis could not attend this year's tournament. She has

asked me to wish everyone well. (She wrote a little note to everyone

found in this program)

Team Panama

We are proud to sponsor, and I would like to give a warm welcome

to, our newest team from Panama the Balboa Academy Lady Drag-

ons! (What a fierce name). There had been much organizing by their

teams representatives: Carlos Donado and head coach Alvaro

Ducreux. They are a junior team, whose girls had to take time off

school, parents had to take time off work, their travel arrangements

and hotel for such a large group was not easy. But, they will be here,

and much appreciation to all the team for all their efforts. What fan-

tastic support from the parents to allow their daughter to travel to

another country in order to compete. This will be the first time

Panama is represented and are proud to host the Lady Dragons. They

will play with IWFFA rules for the first time, so we know the coach

and players have spent extra time preparing for the Kelly McGillis

Classic. From all the members in the IWFFA we truly hope all the

Dragons (Dragon family members included) enjoys themselves here

and that we learn new skills from your style of play. Thank you for

being here.

Team Owner Program

Ever since we initiated the girls divisions in our tournament (1999),

we have sponsored all the local school teams!. Girls and their schools

pay nothing to compete in our Kelly McGillis Classics. We are able

to afford the program by soliciting Team Owners, who financially

support our: Monroe County Schools Girls Flag Football program.

Special thanks to: Pribramsky & company, Blue Heaven Restaurant,

KW Sunrise Rotary in the Conch Republic, Wheatons Automotive

- Key Largo, Key West Handbags and GNO for all their support .

Please read more in our who's who. And we also want to thank the

AQUA Nightclub for sponsoring the local women's team!

We invite our players to coach a girls team and officiate in this

year's tournament!

This tournament is not your ordinary sport competition. In addition

to the games, it's about camaraderie, socializing, using the sport to

teach skills and to practice special skills. How important it is for our

young female athletes to see older female athletes as role models so

they understand they too can take the lead when they get older. In

addition to offering the chance for any player to coach one of the

local girls teams, the tournament encourages players who are also

female officials to step out onto the field when they're not playing

to officiate. The IWFFA has done this for all it's years in our Scan-

dinavian tournaments which has created a healthy and wonderful

competitive environment. Some may think that there is an unfair ad-

vantage to officiating while competing in a tournament... not true.

We offer both Player and Officiating clinics this year, read more in

our program. And for the tournament games, you may sign up to ei-

ther coach a girls team, officiate or both when you are not playing.

The 8th IWFFA World Challenge Game sponsored by Moped Hos-

pital will be played after all the Kelly McGillis Classic Divisional

Championship games are over. This is our most exciting game be-

cause it includes all the teams onto one stage. Last year was special,

because we had one of our players from the girls division: Bethany

Baldwin-Blazetic, 13 yrs old and she has opened the door for anyone

in the girls division to possibly play in the World Challenge Game.

Read more about the Challenge in this program.

2014 IWFFA Sports Girl Award & IWFFA Central America Sports-

woman - we have recognized since 2004 the IWFFA North Ameri-

can Sportswoman award and then added in 2006, the Nordic

Sportswoman award.

This year at our awards will be presented the 2014 IWFFA Sports

Girls & 2014 Latin America Sportswoman. See our website for past

recipients: http://www.iwffa.com/IWFFAsportswomanaward.html

Women should rule their own sport! Women need to control their

own sport. We know what we want. That was the purpose of creating

the IWFFA, so that the women could decide what rules we would

use and how the sport should be governed, in order to ensure quality

flag football for all females. The IWFFA was the first-ever Interna-

tional Women’s Flag Football organization, which grew from the

very first National Women’s Flag Football organization (NWFFA).

The women made it happen. Women have been the frontrunners for

flag football before it was popular. And now it’s more important than

ever for women to unite. If you want to support this effort – sign up

and put your energy into the growth of female flag football.

Check out the list of 2015 IWFFA tournaments - We have added tour-

naments in the USA and abroad and we hope to see your team there,

or yourself as a "loose woman".

Camaraderie- We have spent much time in developing social events

for this tournament. This year the nightly "crazy parties" are fantas-

tic! Every night we have a party/social event which you will enjoy.

Please do not isolate yourself from the other teams. We are here on

the island to enjoy the games and the camaraderie of our peers as

well as to learn good flag football and good sportship. Take advan-

tage for the presence of the players from other countries and across

the U.S. and have a ball!

Since 1995, The National Women's Flag Football Association, which

turned into the International Women's Flag Football Association in

1997 has been working hard to achieve it 's goal: Uniting Female

Flag Football Players around the world. By traveling around the

world, offering clinics, trainings, flag football promotions, we have

taken great strides in creating new teams and leagues and bringing

in existing teams and leagues under our umbrella in order to take

female flag football farther. You should be proud to be a member of

such a fantastic organization that truly has nurtured and helped to

plant the seed for the sports future. I ask you to work with us, support

us and ask any flag football groups you know to join the IWFFA so

that we can become stronger, do more great things around the world

and to finally professionalize our sport.

Now let the games begin!

Sincerely, Diane Beruldsen - President/Founder IWFFA

who are local "mom and pop" businesses who cared

for the girls and wanted to see them succeed and rep-

resent their school's. Each business will soon join our

“Winners Circle” officially at the girls awards ceremony.

rice, and fish to their first lunch customers on the

painted picnic tables under the tropical almond tree of

their fine outdoor dining area. Before then, through

the years, the property has hosted cock fighting, gam-

bling and Friday night boxing matches refereed by

Ernest Hemingway. A dance hall, a bordello and a play-

house have occupied the second floor. Today inside the

Bordello Gallery above the restaurant, one can still

peek through the sliding peep holes into the tiny

active citizens to better conditions for all.

uIWFFA – International Women’s Flag Football

Association

The International Women's Flag Football Association

(IWFFA) is an alliance of girls and women’s flag football

teams, leagues and individual players from around the

world. An organization run by women.

Our mission is to provide an opportunity for all females

regardless of race, nationality, age, economic status or

sexual orientation to enjoy healthy competition, have

fun, develop teamwork skills, learn fair play, good

sportship, standardize rules of the game, create new

teams and unify exiting teams and leagues to help or-

ganize the sport.

Our goal is to promote the educational process, assist

our players through our tournaments, trainings and

promotional tours to build self-esteem, confidence, en-

hance leadership skills to better compete in the busi-

ness and political world to one day have peace and to

professionalize the sport of flag football for women.

We are a central office and support for girls and women's

flag football, rank teams internationally, offer discounts

for equipment and offer education and trainings in re-

gions of the world where the sport does/does not exist.

We also offer scholarship funds to underprivileged teams

so that they may compete in IWFFA tournaments.

uKey West Women’s Flag Football League

(KWWFFL)The KWWFFL started back in ’91 with 3

teams of womenon the island. Not having more com-

petition than that,the league decided to bring teams

to the island for morecompetition which started this

whole tournament thing!The KWWFFL is the only

sports program in Key West,which does not charge any

registration fee, and suppliesteams with equipment

and training. We hope otherwomen’s teams will offer

girls the opportunity to play.

teams and leagues and to have the “women rule their

skills to women so they can use to better compete with

Kelly McGillis Classic and also, it is the first time we will

host a team from Panama. Carlos Donado and Alvaro

Dicreux have been the team contacts, arranging the

players, parents and team for the this year's tourna-

ment. The Lady Dragons normally play with a different

set of rules and were willing to adapt to ours, so they

them to have one of their best flag football experi-

ences ever! The team interviews Friday on our local

radio station WEOW 92.7 FM, between the hours of 8

ferent in Panama than the one used for this tourna-

ment the Lady Dragons are up for the challenge and

are looking forward to participate in an international

tournament for the first time".

uThe Lady Dragons

In Panama City Panama, flag football has caught the

attention of many, has changed lives and has filled

many hearts with joy, adrenaline and strength. Balboa

Academy introduced flag football to its sports depart-

ment by coach Alvaro Ducreux in 2011 and opened the

first girl flag football sub 17 team. With just a few girls

trying out, a well packed team developed. The first

seasons weren't the best, however with time dedica-

tion and practice the girls increased their abilities and

techniques to a much higher level. After 3 years of

playing in LIFFF (Liga International Feminina Flag Foot-

11

ball) and training under coach Duki's rules, the Balboa

Academy Dragons started to be recognized, prized and

looked up too. Lady Dragons now win top categories

in their competitions and come home with big smiles

and proud souls.

uValentina Donado - Quarterback for the Balboa

Academy Dragons and one of our writers for the Who's

Who section of this program. "We wanna give a warm

thank to all the supportive parents and coach, also to

Balboa Academy for helping us get this far. "Don't ever

give up on your dreams, they do come true once you

put them in practice".

group who would like to share their flag football his-

tory. Just contact Diane Beruldsen or anyone at the in-

formation table that you are interested for an

interview and we can film you at the field. We hope to

finish the project in 2-3 years time, as we travel to doc-

ument girls and women's flag football in the: North

American, Latin American and Nordic Regions.

uJoey Schroeder - Proprietor of the Bourbon St. Pub

and New Orleans Guesthouse. Joey has supported the

tournament for years but this year has gone above and

beyond in his assistance with helping us to solicit hous-

ing for our officials and volunteers. Thank you very

much Joey.

the Kelly McGillis Classic last year as an official. He con-

tinued to be involved with the IWFFA by helping to or-

ganize the Provincetown, MA. Kate Clinton Classic

Score BoardsWe have a quadruple system, where we take scores ofgames from both teams, field coordinators and head offi-cial. However, we encourage players to check their scoresthroughout tournament, to multiple-check! They are lo-cated next to information table. Scores can be a decidingfacter in determining ranking of teams for the play-offs.

Game Schedule - Will be posted Thursday night on ourwebsite: IWFFA.COM, after the Captain's meeting at theRegistration. And captins will be handed sheets for thetournament schedule to share with players. We use to posttournament schedule before teams arrived to Key West,but if there were last minute changes at the Captains

meeting (which happens), posting games times previosly,then making changes became too disruptive. For this rea-son, all teams will find out their final tournament scheduleafter the Captains meeting is held.

Chain Gang / Team Schedule – Every team is responsi-ble to hold the chains as scheduled when they are notplaying. We use a chain gang schedule so you can seewhen your team is scheduled. The chain gang schedulewill be given at the registration during captain’s meetingand listed on our tournament web page. Check yourteam’s game times to hold the chains. Penalty for failingto hold chains when your team is scheduled $25 permissed game.

Side LinesTeams are responsible for their sidelines or else they willbe penalized. This includes behavior of their team andtheir fans. 15 yard penalty for unsportlike behavior.

Players registering late – Players who could not attendthe meet & greet and who applied for a: “late registrationat field” should go to the information table to register BE-FORE you play your first game. Show your photo I.D., pickyou your IWFFA membership card. You will then bechecked off on your team roster which our Field Coordi-nators use to check players prior all games. If you are notcleared, and begin your play, you will be deemed an inel-igible player and your team will forfeit the game. Yourmust register before you play! Also, we highly discouragelate registrations and ask for all players and team partici-pants to be present at the Registration Thursday night.

IWFFA Medical Information – Every U.S.A. team is cov-ered for up to $25,000. There is a deductible. If you havean existing medical insurance, our insurance kicks in asyour second insurance. If anyone gets injured during thetournament, you MUST report to us as soon as the injuryoccurs!

Playing against a team with same color shirt - If yourteam is playing against another team with same color, wewill loan pennies for one team to use during that game.Come pick up at information table.

No Switching Shirt Numbers - Some teams have twosets of shirts, so that if they come up against a team withsame color shirt, they use their 2nd set. But, if you switchcolors, make sure you keep same number. You must keepshirt number you have on your roster

NO Soliciting - In order to make our social events suc-cessful, we ask our players to patronage sponsoredIWFFA tournament events (which you can easily see in

our program). Outsiders, who may step onto our turf, andtry to promote their goods, services, and parties outsideof our program, are taking away our opportunity to raisemoney for our organization. Think about the people whohave worked on this event for 24 years! We truly wouldappreciate loyalty from our players and members…..please. Solicitors will be asked to leave if found solicitingon our fields!

Liquor on the field- We strictly enforce the law and pro-hibit consumption of any alcoholic beverages on the publicfield. Violators will be given a summons and asked to leavethe premises if caught drinking alcohol at field.

Also, if you notice the paper isrunning low in the bathrooms, or if there are any floods,let any of our volunteers know and we will take care of.Thank you.

SecurityVolunteers will moniter the field and we hope that shouldthey have to speak to anyone, that they only have to askonce. Please abide by our directors, officials, volunteersand be nice to the other teams. Thank you for doing this.

The World Challenge

The World Challenge was created for various reasons.The main purpose was to give players the opportunityto feel pride, representing their own countries, similar tothe Olympics and to display their talents onto the flag football field. TheWorld Challenge was to allow elite flag football players from the differentdivisions, to join together to compete with and against one another. In2014, the World Challenge had a first, where one of our elite players fromthe girls division: Bethany Baldwin-Blazetic, age 13, joined the U.S.A. allstar team and played at the same level as all the other adult all stars. TheIWFFA World Challenge gives the opportunity for our female athletes to

walk onto the stage and show the world what they have. Todemonstrate their athletic ability, the good spirit of the sport, thepower of team camaraderie, and the power of the female athleti-

cism. The World Challenge is a symbol and the essence of what the International Women'sFlag Football Association is all about.... uniting female flag football players from around theworld. This year's World Challenge will be our 8th annual and is sponsored by Moped Hospital.Sean Duffy, the owner of Moped Hospital, wanted to play a leading role in supporting femaleflag football athletes and the World Challenge Game. We thank Sean and the Moped Hospitalfor the support of this very special competition and you can visit him at the Moped Hospitalstore which repairs, sells and rents mopeds, bicycles and electric cars.
