Play for Fun is not currently available for American Football. However, We run taster sessions at the start of the year, to help newcomers and experience players bond together and get to grip with the basics.  This usually lasts for 2-3 weeks, before we start training for the season ahead.

In third term we run a non contact Flag Football session, these are on at the same time as our midweek training sessions that we would usually run. It’s a great way to learn the basics of the sport for anyone, especially those that are coming back from either injury or a long time away from contact sports or high intensity sports.

Each year NTU Sport accept a number of athletes on scholarships across a range of sports. Each scholarship application is judged on a case-by-case basis, and we encourage athletes from all sports who are interested to take a look at the information on the Sport scholarships web page.
