The '''Osceola Ghostriders''' are a professional [[indoor football]] team. They are a charter member of the [[World Indoor Football League (2007)|World Indoor Football League]]. They play in [[Silver Spurs Arena]] in [[Kissimmee, Florida]].

== History ==
The Ghostriders started out as an expansion team known as the '''Kissimmee Kreatures''' of the [[National Indoor Football League]] in 2005 finishing their first season with a dismal .143 win percentage (2 wins, 12 losses). Before the next season, they were purchased by [[Leisure Bay Industries]], a company located in Orlando. Initially the team was named the '''Osceola Outlaws'''. However, because there was already a team called the [[Billings Outlaws]] in the NIFL, a dispute ensued, and NIFL forced both teams to drop the name just prior to the start of the [[2006]] season. As a result, Osceola played the 2006 season as '''Osceola Football''', and eventually, Billings was recognized as the Outlaws again. Osceola would end their final year in the NIFL at 8-6 and a playoff berth, but they would end up forfeiting to the [[The Marshals (NIFL)|Cincinnati Marshals]].

Recently, Osceola announced they were joining the [[World Indoor Football League (2007)|World Indoor Football League]], and later that they would be called the '''Osceola Ghostriders'''. [http://www.osceolaghostriders.com/pressrelease.html]
