The Senators are providing a training scheme for flag football and there will be training sessions at Gateshead Stadium
Flag football is a fast growing, non contact variant of American football, long popular in the USA, and gaining in popularity here. It means that young people can learn all about the game in safety.
The only equipment needed is track suit and trainers, everything else is supplied.
