The Lima Warriors have competed as a minor league amateur football team since 2001. The goal of the team is to give athletes the chance to showcase their talents and possibly earn an opportunity to play at the next level, whether that is college or professionally. Athletes on the team are not compensated and therefore retain their college eligibility.

The Lima Warriors organization provides an opportunity for athletes to continue their football careers beyond that of high school or college. The members of the team descend from diverse backgrounds yet work together and share a common passion for the game of football.

The Warriors believe in clean, aggressive, highly competitive football. Continuously, the team strives to represent itself as a professional organization built with hard work and dedication. The Warriors strive to create an atmosphere where all players recognize and value the uniqueness of the individual while being committed to the development of themselves and of the team.
