Youth Academy (American Football)

Our Youth Academy is based on 3 core principles: fun, development and success. The programme is key to the future of our club, with the coaches and board of management dedicated to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for the youths to thrive. They have worked hard to establish the programme, with previous success including youth players representing our Senior American Football team as well as earning international caps. Success was found in the first ever Youth League in 2014 where the Cowboys emerged victorious to take the title, and then repeated the feat in 2015. Training for the Youth American Football team starts in June, with the season running from September to November.
