About our club
Leigh Miners American Football Academy was created to give young people in our community the opportunity to access a safe, inclusive and affordable sport that promotes confidence, teamwork and personal development.
The academy began through a passion for American football and a desire to create opportunities for children locally, including my own two children who inspired the creation of the programme. Since launching, we have worked hard to build a positive environment where young people of all backgrounds and abilities feel welcomed, supported and encouraged to develop both on and off the field.
Flag football provides an exciting and accessible introduction to sport, particularly for children who may not engage with traditional team sports. Through structured coaching sessions, we help young people improve physical activity levels, communication skills, resilience and self-esteem while forming friendships and becoming part of a supportive community.
What makes our academy special is the commitment of our volunteers, coaches and families. Following the Leigh Miners restructure in 2025, additional volunteers and committee members came together to support the long-term future of the academy. We have recently recruited two new coaches, strengthened our safeguarding structure and continue developing opportunities for young people across the local area.
We are now expanding our outreach work with local schools, with 10 schools currently planned for engagement sessions. These sessions will introduce children aged 7–14 to flag football in a safe, non-contact environment while encouraging participation in sport and creating pathways into regular community activity.
Funding support will help us purchase essential equipment and coaching resources including flag belts, footballs, agility equipment and training aids. This equipment will allow us to safely increase participation, support school outreach delivery and remove barriers for families who may otherwise struggle to access organised sport.
As a club, our aim is not simply to grow participation in American football. Our aim is to use sport to create positive experiences, improve wellbeing and help young people develop confidence, leadership and a sense of belonging within their community.
Learn. Train. Compete.
