TASTER SESSION STORIES

Every week leading up to our next taster session - on January 12th 2025 - we will be looking back at last year success stories and speaking to players who attended, this week it is under-16 defensive back Jackson McCrory.

Jackson joined with no previous playing experience.

What made you decide to try American football and join the Knights?

I saw alot of stuff about American football online, and the Knights were the most local team and everything about the team seemed welcoming

What has been your favorite moment or memory from your first season with the team?

I would say qualifying for playoffs and getting to a national plate final, and also winning the Jimmy Jay spirit award to finish off the season

How has playing American football helped you grow as an athlete or person?

It has made me alot more confident in everyday life, and had made me alot fitter and faster which I can translate to other sports

What advice would you give to someone thinking about coming to the taster session in January?

Come down and give it your best and just talk to people everyone's friendly and welcoming and we're all family so come and get involved

Remember our taster session for ages 13-19 is being held January 12th 2025 at Weston Favell Academy, NN33EZ. It is completely FREE and welcome to all sizes and experience levels.
