So... What's the game all about?

American Football in the UK is broadly split into two formats, Tackle and Flag - both offering different challenges and opportunities.

A game of specialisms; American Football is a live action chess match between teams with both strategic and tactical elements. As a result it's not only a great way to stay active and be social, it also supports atheltes with mental agility, decision making, situational adaptation, coordination, leadership and team work - all core facets of the game and important life skills for any individual too.

No matter your personal aspirations or desired level of challenge American Football has a format for you! Whether you're a recreational player, more competitive or even have aspirations of standing on an Olympic podium one day, all of that and more is possible in this sport!
