The Kingston 'Cougars' American Football team is the official Kingston University AMF team, which competes with 80 other university teams in the British University American Football League (BUAFL) for the highest rated University American Football trophy in the UK.
WE WELCOME EVERYBODY!! Regardless of Experience or Body Size!!
In 2011/2012 Kingston Cougars had 5 games (3 scrimmages, 2 official fixutres) in which they succeeded against all.
Official Fixtures:
Kingston vs BNU = 32 - 20

The team has a very impressive coaching staff, with famous UK coach Phil De Monte (PDM) as the Head Coach, who has won a BUAFL championship and led his past team to back to back apperances in the finals in previous years.
Furthermore, the coaches Nate Wilson (Won a Championship with London Blitz), Damian Marshall (Former Great Britain Lions Quarterback), Rob Crowther (Offensive Lineman Coach of the Year) are an incredible coaching combination, which has taught last year about 30 players, who have never played before, the game of football and how to succeed!
On the roster are also professional gym trainers, who can advise on workout and nutrition plans for a fit healthy body, if one is interested.
The Kingston Cougars are well known throughout the University for their dedication to the sport (training 3 times a week and seperate voluntary Gym sessions) AND their social life!
The team host weekly socials with many female teams of other clubs and unis. Besides Clubbing other notable weekly socials are "All you can eat ribs", "Paintballing", "House Parties", "Madden/Fifa/CoD Tournaments" and "BBQs".
- In the end thats what being a student is all about ;)
Also notably the team went in April 2012 to Salou in Spain for 5 days, where they won the beach football tournament and had the party holiday of their lives (check album tour pictures). [2013 will be Croatia]
Overall, THE KINGSTON AMERICAN FOOTBALL TEAM is a hardworking, successful and social team, which embrace and provide the whole experience of being a student.
For the record:
- The team has 7 students, who decided they will do a masters just to be able to stay with and play for the team in 2013.
- 3 students are transferring from other universities to join
