Our Team
About Us
Founded in 2016, we are an American Football Team for boys and girls aged 7-16 based in the Southampton area on the South Coast of England.
We play Cadet and Youth Flag American Football and our aim is simply to encourage children to join in, have fun and play in a safe and friendly environment.
Our aim is to introduce boys and girls into the sport and teach them the fundamentals of the game which in turn may lead to them graduating to the contact game at aged 13 or continuing in flag football through Youth and into the adult level.
In our first year we played in the 'local' SEYAF (South East Youth American Football) league against teams from Kent and Sussex and went on to win the Cadet Division unbeaten.
In our second year we moved on to the National Stage and play in the BAFA (British American Football Association) Southern Conference and in 2019 we were very proud to see our Cadet team reach the National Finals in their first competitive season finishing #7 in the nation, while our Youth Team only narrowly missed out on the National Finals by 1 game.
We had high hopes for success in 2020 and looked forward to the season with excitement, but as it was for everyone, COVID-19 came along and dashed all our chances of playing competitive football. We returned to competition in 2021 and what a successful return it was with our u17 White Squadron and u17 Red Squadrons winning their respective National Championships and our u14 Blue Squadron picking up 3rd place in the Plate Finals. Meanwhile in its first year our u11 Squadron went from strength to strength in their non-competitive tournament season.
Having started the team with just 5 players, we have made great strides in a very short time and now boast a squad of over 40 players across 1 x u11 Team, 2 x u14 Teams and 1 x u16 Team and following on from our successful first few seasons in the National Leagues we feel we have a very bright future, so join us and let your children be part of something special.
