Sports agent Curtis Dickey of Sports Management World Wide has officially become the sports agent of Troy’s Fighting Irish. Mr. Dickey will sign players from the Fighting Irish and help them get to a pro level. This means he can help players receive tryouts from teams, although there are no guarantees, from the IFL, AFL, CFL, European Leagues, and maybe even the NFL (Just to name a few). Mr. Dickey has already helped two members of the 2009 Fighting Irish receive contracts from the Omaha Beef a team apart of the Indoor Football League. The Fighting Irish are excited about this new opportunity that we can offer players, and look forward to a wonderful working relationship with Mr. Dickey and SMWW. This is player exposure that the Fighting Irish, and very few Semi-Pro football teams in the country, can offer their players.

All players are asked to do the following:
1) Get there by 7:00PM.

The cost for each workout is $10 per player. Please turn your money into Coach Manny Everett.
