West Michigan Firewomen was an American women's soccer team, founded in 2004. The team was a member of the United Soccer Leagues W-League, the second tier of women's soccer in the United States and Canada. The team played in the Midwest Division of the Central Conference against teams from Chicago, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Kalamazoo Outrage, Medina and Minneapolis.[1]

The team played its home games in the stadium on the campus of Jenison High School in the city of Jenison, Michigan, 9miles south-west of downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. The club's colors were red and white.
