The Lancashire Academy of American Football is gearing up for the largest event of the year this Sunday, 22^nd June, as it hosts a ‘Family Fun Day’ at Blackburn Rugby Union Football Club, an event designed to give something back to the friends and family of the players, as well as the local community.

The fun-filled, action-packed day begins at 2:00 pm with food and drink being served throughout the day. Bouncy castles, face painting and a ‘Bungee Run’ are among the main attractions along with raffles and quizzes. There will also be the opportunity to try your hand at both kitted and unkitted American football, fully supervised by the Academy’s qualified and insured coaching staff.

The event will be the first time all EIGHT of the Academy’s teams will have come together on the same day with the Lancashire Wolverines, Chorley Buccaneers, Bolton Braves, Standish Raiders all in attendance – the day is sure to be a great success!

American football in Lancashire is hugely popular with over 200 boys and girls aged 8+ enjoying the sport all over the region, from Bolton to Blackburn, Wigan to Preston. The Academy is one of the largest in the country and boasts over 20 qualified coaches. All of its eight teams, however, are continually looking for new players, coaches, volunteers or even just fans.
