About the NTU Renegades

The Renegades, founded in 2009, are Nottingham Trent University's American football team. With around 90 dedicated members, our hard work and determination paid off last season as we secured promotion to the Northern Premier Division.
As we prepare for the upcoming season, we are excited to compete at a higher level and continue building on our success. The Renegades are more than just a team; we are a family committed to pushing each other to be the best we can be.

Harry Washburn, Club President.

"Playing for the Renegades is about camaraderie, resilience, and shared passion, bonding us into a brotherhood that respects and pushes each other to excel on and off the field"

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.

This year we are introducing flag football for the first time (non-contact).  This will start as training sessions and progress into games and tournaments against other universities for BUCS points.
