What is American Football?

In American football, two teams of eleven players try to get the ball into the opponent's end zone or kick it between the goalposts to score points. It includes physical contact, strategy and specialized positions such as quarterback and wide receiver.

Topic

The American Football course is organized by the Groningen Giants and they teach you as a 'rookie' the basic principles of the sport. You will learn what it is like to be the Quarterback and throw the pigskin (ball). You will also catch the ball as 'Receiver', run with it as 'Runningback' and feel what it's like to tackle your opponents as 'Linebacker'. 

You do not need any experience with American football or other contact sports for this course. There are 5 lessons of 90 minutes each. The course takes place at Sportpark Corpus den Hoorn. You will be provided with a helmet and shoulder pads. If you have your own football boots or mouthguard, you can bring them with you, but this is not mandatory. After participating in the course, you can immediately become a member of the association and participate in their training courses (Monday and Wednesday from 20:00 PM to 22:00 PM).

Participation in the course is free. You can register for this via the ACLO app. Look here for an overview of the course periods.
