Get Your Game On!

It’s our time now... Be one of the trailblazing women and join the first-of-its-kind continuous football training camp for females.

Hi, my name is Rumunda M. Holder, aka “Hollywood” or Coach Hollywood. My experience with the great game of football began like many others: in the neighborhood funeral home parking lot. My dad, my biggest fan, would yell across the street as he came home from work, "WOW!" It was his biggest exclamation. He was not to be outdone by my mother, who would yell from the window while watching us play football.

"Girls can’t play football; she’s too small and short; she’s going to get hurt." But that’s okay. I’d pick my sister—she’s better than all of you here! My older brother and I were a quarterback/receiver duo that was not to be taken lightly—I was the receiver. Before there was Bill and Tom, there was Frank and Monique. If I factor in how long I’ve been either watching football or playing in some role, it’s been greater than half of my life. So, what does a professional football player look like?

• One of the founders of the BWFFL, a prominent women’s flag football league in Boston, MA.
• 13 seasons playing women’s football (New England Storm, Mutiny, Boston Militia) with 11 of those seasons on special teams.
• Over 10 years coaching the game of football (Pop Warner A-C division, women’s professional football, several seasons of men’s semi-pro football as Special Teams Coordinator/Defensive Coordinator).
• Presently, owner of a women’s flag football team in a competitive league—2021 Division Champions.
• Football official (Pop Warner, JV, flag football, high school).
• Most of all, a champion for those young girls and women who have a passion for the game of football or any sport!

So, what’s the moral of MY STORY? Play the sport you love, regardless of gender, height, or stigma. I played...
