The British Universities American Football League have posted another set of record participation figures with regular season numbers increasing by circa 10% with registrations still coming in.

‘This is a great achievement and is testament to the hard work done by our teams on recruitment and retention’ says Caleb Jackson BAFA Director for Student Football Management.

Andy Fuller, BAFA Director for Student Football Development added ‘This growth is great news and provides a tremendous platform for the launch of our new initiatives.’

‘The BUAFL competition offer now includes pilot programmes for Flag football for both men and women and 5 on 5 contact football for women.’ Fuller added. ‘Over time these will become fabulous tournaments and engage a whole new audience for football.’

In relation to the new competitions the League is delighted to introduce a new programme operating out of the University of Warwick.

Consisting of several enthusiastic young women from the University of Warwick, they are a pioneering programme for BUAFL’s new initiatives which aims to get more women involved in a non-contact version of the sport.

BUAFL Director Andy Fuller said, “The team at Warwick have been at the forefront of the League’s development plans. Given the pedigree of the university, the commitment of the girls and the quality of the coaching staff I have no doubt they will emerge as a benchmark of the programme in Great Britain.”

Head of Women’s Football for BUAFL Dr Elesa Argent said it was a dream come true to see the women’s league taking shape. “Warwick have staked a place in history, and they will, no doubt, provide inspiration to other talented athletes who want to get involved. We have a long term vision of supporting both women’s flag and tackle.”

Head Coach Andrew Gambrill commented that “The standard of play was at the highest level I’ve ever seen from any new group of players. And if you’re expecting me to add the caveat “for girls”, it just isn’t the case.”

Assistant coach Tikisha McCook, who has been doing most of the work with the team added “It’s great working with the girls, they’ve picked everything up so quickly and their enthusiasm makes it fun to work with them.”

The majority of the coaches involved come from the Coventry Jet’s American Football Academy, which aims to bring a non-contact version of American Football to people of all ages, male and female.
