Youth American Flag Football

In 2019 we partnered with Sheffield Forge American Football to create free Youth American Flag Football training session for ages 6 – 17, with the aim of creating Sheffield’s first grass roots team.

Over the years, we have achieved that by playing 4 tournaments and 2 friendly games across the county. However, in 2024 we will make the biggest step by joining the Northern All Star Flag Football league.
