Join The Outlaws

I’ve never played before, can I take part?

ABSOLUTELY! Most Outlaws have never played American football before they came to university. We have a wealth of coaching talent that can teach you all of the fundamentals and rules of the game in just a couple of sessions. Then as you continue, you will gain experience and a better understanding of the game, with those around you there to help you learn until you are ready to play in our first game in November.

Will I get in the team?

Unlike a lot of other sports, here at the American Football we do not have a trial as such, and no players are turned away. American Football teams are very large, with each player playing a vital role. We try to make sure that each player gets a chance to show their stuff on the field.

What about the Equipment?

As you can imagine, a new set of American football equipment can be very expensive. That is why as a part of your membership fees you will get all the playing equipment that you need rented to you for the year.

OK, How do I join?

The easiest way is to come to one of our training sessions, detailed below. You will need to bring comfortable running gear and suitable footwear for training on the sports centre’s 3G Rubber Crumb artificial turf. If you miss the first session, don’t feel like you can’t join us later, as we are always looking for new players!

Im not really interested in playing, anything else I can get involved in?

Certainly! We are always looking for volunteers to help out on game days. We can offer you free food and the NFL games on Sundays after our matchdays at our sponsors Walkabout. If you are just looking to watch the NFL with like minded individuals, then you may want to become an associate member, for a small charge you’ll get the same benefits as volunteers, except after game food.
