The American Football Association is a newly recognised sport in the RAF and seeks to provide the sport for all standards across the Royal Air Force.
From grassroots activity to Inter-Services competition, we want to offer the opportunity for anyone to come along, develop and compete in the incredible sport of American Football.
Playing American football offers numerous benefits, particularly in areas such as focus, coordination, fitness, mental well-being, and stress reduction. It enhances focus and concentration through the need to understand and execute complex plays and strategies. The sport improves hand-eye coordination and overall motor skills essential for passing, catching, and running with the ball.
As a high-intensity physical activity, it boosts cardiovascular health, builds muscle strength, and enhances endurance, contributing to overall fitness.
Mentally, the game stimulates cognitive functions, teamwork, and strategic thinking. The camaraderie and social interaction fostered within a team environment further help in reducing stress and promoting mental well-being.
So whether you are a stalwart of Gridiron or simply want to explore what position would be best suited to you in this demanding, physical and tactical sport, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
