Ever thought that American Football just might be your sport but you can’t be bothered jumping on a plane to LA or New York?
Well, the Northwest Vipers are Holding Tryouts at the Aura Leisure Centre in Letterkenny this Saturday the 28th of September from 12pm to 2pm.
Open to everyone over the age of 15 up, the club are recruiting for their Senior Kitted team, Youth Team & Flag Team.
The Northwest Vipers are an American Football team that bridges the Irish border. The Vipers compete in the IAFA league (Irish American Football Association) and are the premier team in the north west.
“Whether you’re a sports athlete looking to try something new in American Football or a lazy couch potato looking to get into shape. This is the sport for you. There’s something for everyone requiring all kinds of body types and mindsets.
“Even if you know nothing about American Football now, that will soon change. The majority of the team began with zero American Football knowledge and now know the vital importance of a 3rd down conversion or what a ‘hold’ is. If you believe you’ve got that special edge to take us to the next level, signup now!” said Vipers Coach Niall Lyons.
“The Letterkenny tryouts have always proven to attract talented players across Donegal so fingers crossed we continue that tradition this Sunday. We have places up for grabs all over the field, we need Runnings Backs, Tight Ends, O Linemen, Defensive Linemen, Safteys, Receivers and even a Quarter Back. Every portion is open to those guys who show promise and who can commit. We had very successful tryouts last Sunday at UU Magee in Derry and we want to make sure we have the same success in Donegal,” said Lyons.
