Thanks for showing and Interest in the Nottingham Outlaws American Football Team. We are a club that has been playing American football in the UK since 1996 with a good degree of success. In 2008 we qualified for the playoff competition for the national title. We are currently in the Midland Athletic Conference of the British Universities American Football League (BUAFL).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
The Nottingham Outlaws play their home games at Grove Farm.
