Are there any American Football teams in London other than the Olympians and the Blitz?

Question

I haven't played before but want to join a team!

Answer 1

those are the only teams in london itself but there are other teams nearby, the essex spartans ( whom i am a proud player for :) , kent exiles etc

if you havent played before then i'd recommend starting at a lower division club and learning the game before moving up...at bigger clubs you might not get much playing time.

www.gridironuk.co.uk

is the main british american football site

gd luck :)

Answer 2

It's an effort by the defence to get to the quarterback before he can pass by committing extra players to pass-rush at the expense of marking potential receivers. Exactly how a blitz is defined is a bit variable. With no blitz in operation, just the defensive linemen and perhaps one line-backer try to get to the quarterback. The line-backer in this situation is said to be "Dogging," though this terms appears to have fallen into disuse. It used to be the case that a blitz occurred if a defensive back (usually the free safety) rushed the passer. Nowadays, if you commit two or three line-backers this also counts as a blitz.

Check out the local communties. I know that here in Germany, there are teams sprouting up all over the place. They are just local teams, not even semi-pro, but they have fun playing the game.
