We are an American Football team representing the University of Bristol, playing in BUCS South West Division 1. Having just come off of our best season in recent history, making the playoffs, the time to become a Cuda has never been better.
Open to All Students
To play for the Barracuda, you must be a University student at The University of Bristol, in any year of study prior to graduation.
No Experience Required
Most of our players have never played American Football before joining the Barracuda. Our experienced and extensive coaching staff will teach you the rules and techniques of the game, and turn you into an American Football player in no time at all. All you need is the ability to listen, learn and have a will to win.
Do I need to bring my own equipment?
No! American Football Equipment is expensive, roughly £200 for an average full set of equipment. The club has a supply of equipment which it loans to its players for the season. All you need to bring along is a pair of rugby boots and a coloured mouthguard/gumshield.
How far can you go?
How far you go is really up to you? Our coaches will give you the best coaching available in the UK, from there it is down to you! You will have the opportunity to represent the Great Britain Lions in European competition. In addition to this many of our players go on to play Summer Football with the local Adult teams, the Bristol Aztecs and Apache.
Words from our players
" Cuda set me up perfectly to both represent my country and play professionally in Europe, whilst also being a place where I met friends for life. "
Joel Shebioba
OL (GB Lions + Postdam Royals)
" Having never played football before uni, the brilliant coaching mixed with the playful environment of the team led me to pursue further education on a scholarship, as well as with playing professionally abroad. The best decision I've made in my life was to join the club. "
Gabriele Battistella
DB (Milano Seamen + ifm Razorbacks)
" Being a Cuda shaped who I was as a person, making the 4 years I spent at university the best time of my life, both socially and sport-wise. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone looking to try a new sport, enjoy the socials, or trying to better their game. "
