The SLAM is returning a number of experienced veterans, including 2008 leading tacklers, Kelly Kozlen, Tiara Pettis, and Rachael Hinkle; leading rushers, Chris Hampton and Turtle Brown; and top league receivers, Kelly Keen and Kate Evers. The SLAM will take on a Cincinnati team that recorded a 1-7 record in the WFA in 2009.

The first SLAM home game is Saturday, April 17, 2010, against the Minnesota Machine. Kick off is set for 7:00pm at Oakville High School, located at 5557 Milburn Rd, St. Louis, MO, 63129.
