The Central PA Vipers are a team of the Independent Women's Football League. Based in the Steelton suburb of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the Vipers play their home games at Steelton-Highspire School District's War Veterans Memorial Field, also known as Cottage Hill.
Prior to playing in the IWFL, the Vipers were a member of the National Women's Football Association in 2006 and 2007 (in their inaugural season, they were called the Harrisburg Angels). Starting in 2009, the Vipers will compete for talent and fans with Harrisburg's other women's football team, the Women's Football Alliance's Keystone Assault.
After four seasons and twenty-seven attempts (not counting a forfeit by the Richmond Spirit), the Vipers finally picked up their first victory on the gridiron on June 6, 2009 thanks to a 48-0 triumph over the Holyoke Hurricanes. The following week, the Vipers continued their string of success, defeating the Cape Fear Thunder 30-6.
