The Miami Valley Silverbacks are a professional indoor football team based in Troy, Ohio. They're currently a member of the Continental Indoor Football League. They play their home games at Hobart Arena.

The team began play in 2006 as an expansion member of the American Indoor Football League. On Saturday, March 25, 2006, WR/DB Maurice Lee managed to set five AIFL Wide Receiver records, en route to his teams' 57-54 Week 5 road victory over the Steubenville Stampede. He set the record for most catches (16), most reception yards (191), most receiving touchdowns (7), most points (42), and total touchdowns (7).

After the season, the team decided to move to the Continental Indoor Football League, along with their brother franchise, the Steubenville Stampede.

The Silverbacks planned on sitting out the 2009 CIFL season, but due to the West Virginia Wild getting suspended from the league, the CIFL offered for the Silverbacks to take the place of the Wild. They will play a 12-game season, primarily as a traveling team.

On April 14, the Silverbacks announced that a majority of their remaining 2009 season will be broadcast live online for free on MCP-TV at www.miamicountypost.com. Professional sports announcer JT Szabo will provide the play-by-play .
