We've had two absolutely massive practice sessions already this month — the biggest January turnout in club history — and we're not slowing down.

If you've been sitting on the fence, watching from the sidelines, or waiting for the "right time" to try American Football... this is it.

This Sunday at Victoria Park, Taunton:
16+ Flag Football – 10:00–12:00
U16 & U19 Contact – 10:00–12:00
18+ Contact – 12:00–15:00

The energy's been unreal. New faces mixing with veterans. Players pushing each other. Coaches fired up. This is what preseason should feel like.

Whether you're back for your fifth season or thinking about your first session — Sunday's where you need to be.

📍 Victoria Park, Taunton
