Academy
Young knights.
Since the formation of our senior team in 2016, we have gone on to create an Academy featuring Junior U19 and Youth U16 full contact teams.
We now establish, grow and develop our own players, giving young athletes a clear pathway into American Football.
Our experienced, fully qualified coaches are all DBS checked, trained in first aid and safeguarding, and work alongside our Club Welfare Officer, to ensure all the young people we train are in the very best hands.
youth: ages 13 to 16
Our Youth team is for ages 13 to 16, and we compete in the BAFA U16 Midlands B Division. Youth football is a 5v5 full contact version of American Football, and is the perfect opportunity for any young athlete to take their first steps into the sport.
junior: ages 16 to 19
Our Junior team is made up of players aged between 16 and 19. Having previously won the D2 National Championship our team now plays in the highest level of football in the UK. The 9v9 format of the game is the perfect bridge between Youth and Adult football.
Start your journey.
Our Academy welcomes players of all shapes and sizes, aged 13+, and no previous experience is needed.
