Introducing The Philadelphia Spinners Fly Girls

What’s the secret to a successful sports franchise?

The answer is Cheerleaders/Dancers.

We’ve covered dance teams from football, arena football, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, indoor soccer, rugby, tennis and now ultimate! (Some of you may know the sport as ultimate frisbee, but because of trademark issues the preferred shorthand name is now just ultimate.)

The Philadelphia Spinners are a new team in the American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL) and this past Sunday they had a team photo shoot in the steps of the Art Museum. (You know, the steps that Rocky runs up.)

And of course the Spinners dance team, the Fly Girls were there as well.
