Anybody interested in playing for the Blue Raiders Youth or Adult teams, or any other aspect of American Football, please contact Head Coach Craig Ramsay on 07771 595612 or via email on Nostromo20001458@aol.com.
The Blue Raiders practice at the Bedford International Athletics Stadium, Barkers Lane, Bedford, MK41 9SB. Sessions for the senior team (players aged 18 and over) begin promptly at 10:30 and finish just at 14:00. Practice for youth players begins at 14.00.
We normally practice on the massive field behind the rugby pitches, to the left of the main arena complex, as you look at it. There is an entrance to the rugby pitches at the very end of the left hand car park.
It is possible to get to the area we practice on via a small bridge in far right hand corner (nearest the athletics stadium as you enter the rugby pitches).
You will need to wear the same clothing you would for rugby or soccer. We highly recommend footwear with studs/cleats or you will find it difficult (impossible if it's wet) to change direction at speed. Please also bring your own gumshield.
