Warriors appoint new Coaches
The London Warriors Urban American Football program
would like to announce the signing of two new coaches:
Although Jay has spent the past several seasons
running the Monarchs Flag program he has also been instrumental in trying to
develop American football around the Cinque Port area.
From organising Leaders awards for school teachers,
building positive relationships with the Sports Development departments to
hosting flag tournaments and getting more people involved in American football
Jay has been helping the sport grow.
After overseeing the BUAFL finals and Allstar game,
Russ Hewitt was finally able to join the program. Having been involved with the
Sundevils, which unfortunately suspended operations for 2009 and the university
team, the Portsmouth Destroyers, Russ brings with him great experience and
knowledge which will help the program to develop.
“From the program stand point both Russ and Jay are
great additions to the program. Jay is eager to develop as a coach he brings
experience and understanding in what it takes to develop an American football
program.
While Russ is a great reminder
as to why we coach. His enthusiasm and energy is a joy to be around and he will
also be able to help the younger less experienced coaches develop. So really it’s
a win, win for the program” Gerry Anderson, London Warriors Program Director
