The NFL Flag programme will be rolling out nationally across the UK and Ireland this year with the support of our Presenting Sponsor Subway®.
The aim is to help develop the character of the children by focusing on the NFL core values of Respect, Integrity and Responsibility; improve their nutritional knowledge; the importance of getting active; as well as helping them learn how to play NFL Flag. Each 12 week programme ends with a regional tournament involving all participating schools in the locality of the university.
NFL Flag presented by the Subway® brand will be rolling out in London, Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester and Bristol during the academic year 2017/18, with plans to expand further, including Ireland, in 2018/19.
We are also supporting schools to start the NFL Flag programme independently (without our coaches coming to the school). The free of charge support package includes:
- Providing training to staff to enable confident coaching of the skills needed to play NFL Flag
- A flag starter pack including 17 balls, 40 flag belts, and NFL Flag jerseys for the class to practice in
- The 12 week NFL Flag presented by Subway curriculum
- Support with facilitating local fixtures
