The athletes volunteer to play, practicing late nights and early mornings, while team owner Dawn Sherman is responsible for the cost of travel, uniforms, security and more for the 50-person team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The future goal, of course, is to pay our athletes to play. We want to make this their full-time job,&#8221; Sherman said. &#8220;We want to be able to give them a living wage, and so all of the things that we&#8217;re doing in this first season are building toward that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Breaking barriers<\/h2>\n<p>The team will play its inaugural season in Paterson, New Jersey at the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/hinchliffe-stadium-museum-paterson\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">historic Hinchliffe Stadium<\/a><\/span>, which was once home to a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/negro-leagues-statistics-integrated-mlb-record-books-josh-gibson\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Negro League<\/a><\/span> baseball team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re just adding to the legacy of <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/hinchliffe-stadium-paterson-reopening\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Hinchliffe Stadium&#8217;s<\/a><\/span> history of breaking barriers with the Jersey Shore Wave,&#8221; said Paterson Mayor Andre Sayegh.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What better way to get involved with the community,&#8221; Sherman added. &#8220;To create this great opportunity to demonstrate that women deserve their place on the field playing a sport that they love.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Linebacker Jane Crosby said gender doesn&#8217;t matter when the team takes the field. &#8220;Women don&#8217;t play tackle&#8221; is becoming a saying of the past.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We put on those pads, we&#8217;re out here ballin&#8217; the same way that they do,&#8221; Crosby said.<\/p>\n<p>All backgrounds and experience levels are welcome.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m a former pageant girl. I sing and dance for a living. No one would expect me to be playing tackle football,&#8221; wide receiver Megan Stier said.<\/p>\n<p>She said she was &#8220;terrified&#8221; when she first joined, but that didn&#8217;t last long.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was like, &#8216;What is this pageant girl going to do on a football field?'&#8221; Stier said. &#8220;And immediately the team said, &#8216;No, you&#8217;re a football player now.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s nothing wrong with being physical, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with having aggression and being able to get that aggression out in a sport,&#8221; Miller said.<\/p>\n<p>Jersey Shore hopes to ride the Wave all the way to a championship.
