Dear Renegades Family,

After a decade of passion and commitment to excellence in women’s tackle football, we have made the difficult decision to suspend operations for the Boston Renegades. This decision was carefully considered and reflects our dedication to the future growth of both the team and the sport.

We sincerely appreciate the vital role the community has played in our organization’s success. Thank you for being loyal supporters, remarkable thought partners, fierce competitors, and incredible advocates. Your efforts have meant a great deal to us, and we are truly grateful.

The Renegades have set a remarkable precedent for women’s football, and we take immense pride in our accomplishments. Starting from scratch in 2015, we built this team without a name, coaches, logo, or facilities. Our original aim was simply to sustain women’s football in Boston. Today, we proudly hold five national championships, have made seven national championship appearances, been featured in an ESPN documentary and have three jerseys enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Beyond our on-field achievements, we have organized clinics, coached and mentored countless young girls and served as role models for future generations. Together, we have created an organization that stands as a true leader in women’s football on a global scale. A decade ago, we could never have imagined the organization we have become today.

As we pause operations, our focus has shifted toward advancing not only the organization, but also the opportunities for women in professional tackle football. The current pay-to-play and volunteer model is no longer sustainable. To promote the growth of the sport, we need to secure additional investment, forge new partnerships and capitalize on new opportunities. The upside potential for women’s professional sports is exploding, and we intend to be a part of that movement. We are excited to emerge even stronger and to provide an outstanding experience both on and off the field.

We value your ongoing support and welcome your input as we enter into this new chapter. Please feel free to contact me with your thoughts.

Once again, thank you for your unwavering support and your incredible contributions. We’ll keep you updated as things progress.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Molly
