The Central Valley Coyotes are a professional arena football team and were a charter member of Arena Football 1. The team currently is not in a league. As the newly forming af1 set aside its plans for a two tier league and began focusing only on bigger markets, Central Valley has stepped down and may play in a league which is more friendly to smaller markets; such as the Indoor Football League or the AIFA. The team began as a 2002 expansion member of the af2, known as the original Bakersfield Blitz until 2004. They play their home games at Selland Arena in Fresno, California. The Central Valley Coyotes have been in discussions with Indoor Football League Commissioner Tommy Benezio about possibly joining the Indoor Football League in 2011.
