What it's all about
Within the country the first time the majority of people come into contact with American Football is through universities, we would therefore like to go around some local schools and run an after school club focussing on the youth version of the sport with the premise of creating a flag team within Leicester. Flag football is similar in its design to Kiwi touch Rugby where there is a bare minimum of contact, the game is designed to allow the players to hone their abilities to read the game and learn the basics before they possibly move onto the senior, more physical game
What's needed to make it a reality
we would need footballs for the children to play with, 4 helmets which would be used to simulate actual game time - showing them how greatly reduced their periferal vision is and therefore they learn to become much more aware of theri surroundings and finally the belts/ flag kit which is used within the game
