The Osceola Ghostriders are 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, FL.

== History ==
Osceola Ghostriders started out 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. 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'''.

Osceola ended their final year in the NIFL at 8-6 and a playoff berth, but they ended up forfeiting to the [[Cincinnati Marshals]].
