Anyone play semi-pro football?

[Swifty]

Our city has a semi-pro team (its nothing to special) but i've been thinking about trying out for it next year. i haven't played in about 6 years. I'm really concidering trying to bulk up another 15 - 20pds and getting back into it so i can try out next year. I'm kinda small so i'd have that running against me. What are your guys honest opinion? have any of you done something like this?

The city I live in has a "minor league" Arena Football team.

Its like the league below the AFL.

I can't say I know of alot of guys who made the team without some sort of college/pro experience.

A buddy of mine played at Duke, drafted by the Titans (training squad player only), came back here and played a season or two, and then went into coaching.

Definitely helps with the groupies and at clubs/bars.

But you aren't gonna make any money off of it....

Look at the rosters and depth charts of any Division I college team and then look at the guys on the 2nd and 3rd team. That is mostly what you will be up against. Guys who played some college ball and couldn't make it in the NFL.
