"I have never played American Football before, does that matter?"
Most of our players have never played American Football before joining the Bullets. Our experienced and extensive coaching staff will teach you the rules and techniques of the game, and turn you into an American Football player in no time at all. All you need is the ability to listen, learn and have a will to win!

"Do I need my own equipment?"
No! American Football Equipment is expensive, roughly £300 for an average full set of equipment. The club has a supply of equipment which it loans to its players for the season at small rental charge. But some of our players have purchased their own equipment, and if you are interested in buying any items, we can negotiate you a discount price with our suppliers. (e.g Helmet £105, Shoulder Pads £100)

All you need to bring along, is a pair of football/rugby Boots and a coloured gumshield.

"How far can I go in the sport?"
How far you go is really up to you? Our coaches will give you the best coaching available in the UK, from there it is down to YOU!!!! In 2007, 10 Bullets went on to represent the Southern Allstar Team, a further 6 went on to represent Great Britain Universities in a tour of Norway in Summer 2007. Other players have represented Great Britain Seniors in European Championships and have been even been selected for the European Allstar team. In addition to this many of our players go on to play Summer Football with local Senior side, the Bristol Aztecs.

AIM HIGH! Bullets players have represented countries such as Great Britain, Italy, Wales, England and Ireland in International Competition. Some have played in the American Football World Cup and European Championships. Bullets players have even been offered football scholarships in the USA at NCAA Colleges.

Should you reach a high standard of competition then University Sports Bursaries of up to £1000 become available. In addition to this local council sports grants can be arranged and personal sponsorship.

In addition to the above, various clubs in Europe, North America, South East Asia and Australasia pay players to play. Impress with the Bullets and you could spend you summers with free accomodation, food, car and a wage, sunning it in New Zealand or the likes.

"How can I learn more about American Football?"
If you are a complete beginner to the sport, check out the NFL Europe beginners guide to American Football here. Other good ways to learn more about Football, is to watch the NFL Coverage on Sunday evenings on Sky Sports Extra and Sunday/Monday/Tuesday evenings coverage on Channel 5. American Football films also give a good insight into the game. Unusually, EA Sports' John Madden American Football Video Games are an excellent way of learning more about the sport. But there is no better way about learning the sport than strapping a helmet and shoulder pads and going out and playing it!
