How To Play Fantasy Football – A Beginner’s Guide for Girls
When I first met my husband (way back in college) he was playing Fantasy Sports. Flash forward to today and his love for Fantasy (football and baseball) is still going strong.
Over the years his group of friends have taken the “sport” to a whole new level with weekend getaways, “meetings” and trophies. I tease him about it but in reality they have a lot of fun and good ol’ fashion rivalry. I have to be honest it gets pretty annoying sometimes when he is watching 3 different games at once (TV, IPad, phone), but he loves it!
So we thought it would be fun if the girls got to have their own league?!? How many of us LOVE football? How many of us sit with our husbands or boyfriends on a Monday, Thursday or Sunday watching the games? I know I do!
So if are considering getting the ladies together and having your own friendly competition, here’s some pointers:
Get a Draft Board
Make sure you order this in advance so you have it for the big day! 😉 Here’s a great Draft Kit
to get you started.
Set up a League
There are a few sites that have FREE leagues. If you are just starting out, you don’t need to get too fancy. All of these are great:
Location for Draft
Determine where you want to host the draft. Most sports bars have rooms they rent out for Fantasy drafts. If you decide to host it at your house, just make sure to send your man out with his buddies and the kids to grandma’s for the night. 😉
Send Invites to Your Girlfriends
Once you know the location, it’s time to send out the invites and get everyone EXCITED. Here’s a FREE Printable Invite that you can change the location and time information…
