Grangemouth Broncos Flag Football

Grangemouth Broncos Flag Football The Broncos play Flag Football (non-contact, 5 on 5 American Football) The Broncos play Flag Football (non-contact, 5 on 5 American Football).

The club currently runs two adult teams, ages 16 and over (male or female). We practice and play our home games at Almond Terrace, Whitecross. Grangemouth Broncos is part of a club which has evolved over the years. They started out as the Forth Valley Generals, an adult American Football Club formed in the late 1980s. The Generals then transformed into the Falkirk Cougars around 1990, playing firs

t at Sunnyside in Camelon, then at Inchyra Park in Grangemouth. Around 1995/96 the Cougars became the Denny Broncos, still playing American Football. However, somewhere between 1996 and 2000 the club turned to Flag Football, which initially allowed for some amount of pushing and blocking at the line of scrimage. In 2000 the club was back at Grangemouth but had re-invented itself as the Grangemouth Broncos Flag Football Club. At this point, the club had teams playing at all age bands. Players ages ranged from 7 to 45. The Broncos kids teams at this point were amongst the most successful teams in Britain. We had teams who won the Scottish Championships and one team who won two national titles and competed in Europe. Many of the Broncos players, of all ages, represented Scotland with some going on to play for Great Britain. More recently, with the demise of the NFL Europe, the American Football scene has fallen back to the levels of the 1990s and the number of kids playing flag has dwindled in Scotland to virtually nil. Now, the Broncos still manage to compete at senior level in the BAFA Senior Flag League. The Broncos are always on the lookout for New players, so, come and join us on Saturday mornings 10:00 until 12:30 at Whitecross. (Any change of time or venue is normally posted on this page)

Grangemouth Flag Football Club expect to be returning to practice on Saturday 20th March.
It will, of course, not be the practice we are used to. The new normal will include hand sanitising, regular sanitizing of footballs.
Unfortunately, the rules will exclude many of our members who live outwith the Falkirk Council area.
Practice will be limited to 15 participants all adhering to Social Distancing rules.
While we may be able to pass the ball, we will not be competing for catches and there will be no Flags to pull.
Initially participation will be limited to current club members, Broncos, Colts and Fillies. We hope in subsequent weeks to be able to include newcomers.
Looking forward to seeing all of our friends, many for the first time in at least a year.

Since our last post, there has not been much to post from a Club point of view. We have had a brief period in Scotland's tier 2 which gave some of us the opportunity to play a game, but I think most felt it was too big a risk so close to Christmas.. Now we have at least another three weeks before we will even have a chance to meet up again.
In the meantime the Club would like to wish ALL our players, supporters and family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Stay safe, stay healthy and remember, if you need anyone to talk to about anything, get in touch with any of the Club members.

Let's see if anyone can equal Scott's knowledge of his team-mates. (He currently has such a commanding lead in the overall points that he promises to take a back seat tonight. Is his confidence going to be rewarded or punished?)
