The Capital City Stealth will play in the Northern Conference of the North American Football League. The team starts pre-season play in June, with its first regular game tentatively scheduled for July 10 against the Traverse City Wolves. The team was founded in September as an avenue for players with some high school or college ball experience. Head coach Tony Tubaro is hopeful the community will rally behind the new team.
"These guys have put in a lot of effort," Tubaro says. "It's been fun to watch the progress of these young men. So I hope you'll come out and support us. I hope you'll come out and take part of what's going on here, because this is something special."
The team is still finalizing its permanent home field location. Its coaching staff says community service will be a major part of the Stealth's core mission off the field.
