British American Football Success
A huge congratulations to Kristian Y12, who has been selected to play professionally for the British American Football team. Kristian who is currently studying BTEC science and PE developed an interest in the sport whilst watching a game of American football with his dad on TV. He decided to pursue his interest and look for a local team to play for. He started playing for Manchester Titans, Under 19’s in 2019 and set records for them. Very quickly, he gained the position of captain, which he still holds. Kristian plays in the position of ’Wide Receiver’ and wears shirt, No.88.
In November 2022 he attended the ‘Try Outs’ for the British American Football Team in Leeds and has been selected to play for them. By joining the team Kristian will be able to travel around the UK and to see the world. Training will take place once a month, with the next session being in Manchester.
His success in American football seems to be on the rise as he has been invited to the NFL Academy try outs in July.
