Who are we?
We are the Leicester Longhorns. Join the stampede. Whether you've played before or never even looked at an American Football field, we want you.
This team has fought up from division 2 to where we are now in BUCS Division 1, even managing to make it to the playoffs last year, and this year we want to make it all the way. We've got a team of about 50-60 players where everyone will get the chance to see the field and experience the thrill of playing a snap. Come to one of our give it a go sessions in September and find out what position we think would be the best fit for you! But at the end of the day the position you play is your choice, be it wide reciever or d-line, we can make you into the player you want to be. Just last year we had 2 rookies start with us that are now playing for a GB team, the opportunities to go further are there!

We have an exceptional coaching staff with many playing for and coaching the Leicester Panthers American Football team. Our Coaches all come from different positional backgrounds ensuring that each position gets the best training possible and ensures that each part of the team can be focused on and polished into a truly cohesive unit.
Off the Pitch
Off the pitch, our social sec has been hard at work planning our socials for this year (both alcoholic and non), with wednesday being our usual themed social night ending up with pre-drinks heading off to the pubs and eventually LetsDisko at the O2, there are other plans for watching NFL games as a team with a Superbowl watch party always being a favourite as well as other plans during our bye weeks where we have no games on the weekend and can plan something a bit more interesting.
As training starts and we get towards the start of the season, our Player development sec will start putting together days for team conditioning or Gym sessions by your positional group to help with bonding as a squad and ensure we're becoming the best for our team.
