SEMINOLE BEGINNING
On September 15th, 1994, the Detroit Seminoles Football Team was born into existence with the signing of a contract in Detroit Michigan. Team Seminole, was the genesis and brainchild of a group of former collegiate and free agent football players/investors, looking to design and create a an elite football resource platform for un-drafted free agent players and eligible collegiate to: train, compete, and acquire additional football experience – with the opportunity of playing professional football (NFL, CFL, NFL-Europe, Arena) - returning to school for college eligibility - or just playing high-level football for the love of the game.

Sylvester Jennings, Winfred Caddell, and Robert Hunt and a group of former college football players later to be known as the teams owners and administrative board created the Detroit Seminoles Football Team a minor professional sports franchise. The primary objective of the Seminoles board was to construct a scaled model of a NFL professional football team franchise complete with front office administration, coaches, players, staff and a yearly operating budget and create a minor-pro level of football at a fraction of the cost of professional leagues and minor-sports franchises.

MEET THE SEMINOLE PLAYERS
Players: The Seminoles have been very fortunate to have some of the top former players in Michigan collegiate and Detroit High-School history play for them over the last decade. Players like former NFL player Marlion Jackson (Denver Broncos/New York Jets/Frankfurt Galaxy) - started his career with Detroit Seminoles as a budding tailback and was able to use the Seminoles as a launching platform to a solid NFL/NFL Europe football career.

ROSTER PLAYERS
Primarily the majority of the players that comprise the Detroit Seminoles roster are former college players with D1/D2/D3 - experience looking to further football career. The Seminoles roster demographics generally consist of a strong composition of former MAC (Mid American Conference Players (30% - average of roster players) - followed by D2 players (i.e.- Grand Valley State University). The Seminoles traditionally have their share of BIG TEN players and it makes for some strong practices as D2/D3 players get a second chance to see how they stake up against the best of collegiate football.

In addition to major pro (NFL/CFL) options, 25-30% of Seminole players enjoy the option of being heavely recruited to professional Indoor Football (AFL1/AFL2/IFL) teams for Spring/Summer play. Over the last 5 seasons the Noles have loaded Indoor Pro Football rosters as bluechip starters and reserves.
