We are delighted to announce that the Lancashire Wolverines and Wolverine Colts Rookie Camp 2010 will take place this Saturday January 16th, in the Astrodome at St. Joseph's Catholic High school, Horwich (close to Bolton FC stadium and Middlebrook shopping centre) from 12pm till 2pm.
The camp will continue the following Saturday January 23rd for Youth players only, at the same time in the same place. Due to the weather affecting the venue, the camp has been split into two sessions, the first being an introduction to the game and fundamentals, and the second being an introduction to kit and contact.
Regular season training will commence on Sunday January 17th, with a classroom session in the Bolton Arena lecture theatre for the Colts between 12 and 2pm (meet in the foyer at 11.45am) and between 2pm and 4pm for the Senior team. Outdoor training will start on Sunday January 24th at 12pm till 3pm at Bolton Arena (next to the Bolton FC stadium). This will be the same every Sunday from then onwards. The two Saturdays are purely for Rookie players to learn the basics. Regular season training is for everyone including returning players and Rookies.

 Lancashire youngsters will soon be able to try American Football, and then play for their local club, thanks to a new National Lottery-funded project.
The Lancashire Wolverine Colts Youth American Football team (Age 16-19) received a huge boost this Christmas when they received over £7000 funding from Sport England. The grant will be used purchase twenty-five complete sets of kit and specialist training equipment for the clubs ‘Rookie Camp’. Development Director for the Lancashire Academy of American Football, Caroline Freeman, was thrilled to hear of the successful grant application: “American football is an expensive sport and unfortunately money often serves as a barrier for potential players. We are really pleased that Sport England has approved our bid for funding. This grant will widen participation in the sport of American Football in Lancashire.”
Anne Boyd, Sport England’s Regional Lead for Lancashire, said:
“The opportunity to try a new sport for the first time is often all a person needs to catch the sporting bug. The Lancashire Wolverines Rookie Camp is a great way for younger people to try American Football and have a quality sporting experience that will encourage them to stay involved.”
The Lancashire Wolverine Colts are the Youth Kitted team representing the Lancashire Academy of American Football, and are open to all players aged 16 to 19. The Colts are coming off a particularly successful season, having finished 2nd in Great Britain during the 2009 season and are looking to build on that success during 2010.
The Wolverines ‘Rookie Day’ will be held on January 10th 2010 for any new players interested in playing American Football. No previous experience of American Football is required and all equipment will be provided. If you would like to attend the Rookie Camp, we ask that all players register their interest with Head Coach, Geoff Leigh -
