So I went to an L.A. D-Fenders game on Friday, something I haven’t done in a few years.  I was there with a friend, who always tries to catch a game at the Toyota Center every time he’s in town during the season.  Why?  Because the D-Fenders’ dance team are the Laker Girls.  And it is a rare treat when you can see the Laker Girls up close and personal.

See more Laker Girl photos at my personal website, thehottestdanceteam.wordpress.com.

Just a reminder that the audition dates page has been updated with the latest audition information for NFL cheerleading squads.  There are several teams that have yet to announce their audition information, but rest assured that UltimateCheerleaders.com will be updating this page on a regular basis going forward.

Please note that some squads, notably the 2015 Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots, have audition dates in the next few weeks.

Check the audition dates page regularly for updated information and for those individuals trying out for 2015 squads, good luck!

The Pro Bowl is a fun filled week of activities for the football fan…or at least it was when I went back in 1995 and 1996. Back then, it was held in Honolulu, Hawaii and it was pretty much five days of football fun set in the most beautiful tropic resort area in the United States. If you tired of schmoozing with retired NFL greats or shooting the Pro Bowl Cheerleaders, you could always check out one of the many attractions that Hawaii has to offer or hang out in the North Shore, like I did.

Good times.

So when I heard that the Pro Bowl was coming to Glendale, Arizona, I was intrigued by the possibilities. And when Mad Max, our former Arizona Correspondent who now lives in the Midwest, invited me to go to the game, I was excited at the prospect of shooting the Pro Bowl Cheerleaders once again and checking out this new fangled, NFL fantasy football game they now call the Pro Bowl.

Well to make a long story short, the game is not what it once was and the NFL may be struggling to figure out how to maintain the Pro Bowl’s relevance in an era where All Star games are more like MTV’s old Rock N’ Jock than real sports play.

At least the Pro Bowl Cheerleaders were the same…and by that I mean top notch!

I will say this about the Pro Bowl, the vibe at this game was fun and mellow. Fans of all teams mingled together in the Gameday Fan Plaza, sharing stories of the season and generally having a great time together. There was none of the usual alcohol induced bravado or animus that you normally experience at a regular season game. It was chill and people were having a good time, a good time with fans from other teams.

I was in Phoenix today at the NFL Experience, hanging out with Mad Max and Pro Bowl Dan and we were fortunate to photograph some NFL cheerleaders at the event.  So here’s a few photos from the event.

Stay tuned for more coverage of the 2015 Pro Bowl game.

This past weekend, I spent some quality time over at Bernie’s. That would be Bernie Lilavois and the Ontario Fury of the MASL. Indoor soccer is fast and furious, kind of like what Arena Football is to NFL football. The action is non stop, the scoring is sudden, and this weekend…physical. I went to see some indoor soccer and a hockey game broke out.

Yes, there is boarding in the MASL and like hockey, when you slam a player into the boards, that’s a penalty. And yes, there are goons in the MASL and like hockey, when you cheap shot a guy, there will be retaliation.

I saw a lot of hockey type action in the two Fury games that I attended…and as a spectator…it was a lot of fun to see. Fast break action and thuggish play to boot! Well, I guess that’s one way to try to stop the Fury…or not…both opponents, the Turlock Express and the Las Vegas Legends, lost to the home team.

But the real reason for my return visit was the Ladies of Ontario Fury.

Lynae de Leon, the director of the dance team, let me know that the Ladies of Ontario Fury were going to be performing a special Cowgirl themed dance on Sunday, so I was eager to forgo my NFL Championship Game watching to be able to photograph the hottest dance team in the MASL one more time.

So here is a collection of images taken over the course of two days with the lovely Ladies of Ontario Fury.

Happy New Year! You know what that means, NFL cheerleader auditions are just around the corner!

My name is Stacie Marie and I am the owner of Zonas Designs along with a former NFL Pro Bowl Cheerleader. I cheered in the NFL for 6 years and after a constant struggle of not finding that perfect audition outfit…I created Zonas Designs, a company customizing audition uniforms for girls wanting to stand out and make a statement.

After having 3 children in a 2 year period…the business became a little overwhelming and I had a take a step back and focus purely on the production of custom swimwear for NFL Swimsuit calendars. Now that my youngest will join his twin sisters in school part-time, I am ready to dive back in and do what I love, producing the dream audition uniform that will give you every advantage possible to make that team! I will also continue to design and produce jersey inspired uniforms along with NFL and NBA dance team uniforms and specialty costumes.

Zonas designs has produced swimwear and uniforms for the Washington Redskins, San Diego Charger Girls, Chiefs Cheerleaders, San Francisco 49ers, LA Clipper Girls, Jets Crew, KC Wizards MLS soccer, HBO Boxing Ring Girls, Pro Bowl Cheerleaders..etc.

Feel free to contact Stacie at info@zonasdesigns.com for any of your custom uniform needs!
