The ‘Northumbria Mustangs’ are one of a handful of sports that allow mixed teams to compete in BUCS on behalf of the university. The Mustangs provide a very welcoming and open environment for all abilities to come along and join in. They play weekly BUCS fixtures on a Sunday and have qualified for the play-offs in the past couple of years.

Those completely new to the sport have the option to train and compete using a wide range of skills and tactical thinking. Equipment is provided for those first years that are keen to join. The team also have key links with local team ‘Northumberland Vikings’ and players often have a role in both teams.

On top of all the fun you’ll have playing and learning the amazing sport that is American Football, you’ll enjoy a variety of social events organised by the club making it the perfect opportunity to play the sport you love while having a great time and making new friends.
