The Chester Romans are one of the UK's oldest (American) Football teams, formed in 1986 and have gone from strength to strength since, The club is always on the lookout for new players, coaches, volunteers and fans. The UK season runs from April thru August, with the playoffs thereafter cumulating in Britbowl in September.
The Romans are more than a club, they are a family, a community and many have said they have team spirit like nowhere else in the UK. If you would like to be a art of that then please come down, you will be sure to receive a warm Romans welcome and what better place to talk about sports back home than with people who understand. You no longer have to feel like the odd one out for liking football when most people over here are passionate about soccer or cricket!.
The Romans were led on offence this past season by Eric Horstman a native of Ohio who taught football at Shaker heights and Beechwood schools for 12 years (Paul Newman's old school) It, unfortunately for the Romans, looks as though he may well be returning with his work back to the States leaving the club without an Offensive co-ordinator so the club will be looking to replace him as he will create a huge void when he leaves. Anyone who can give freely of their own time and who would like to apply for this position or play for the club. should contact the team at chesterromans@bafl.org.uk
The Club has both a Youth team for ages 14-18 and an adult team for ages 18 and over, there is no age limit- we have a Tight End from Seattle who is over 40 years old so don't let age be a factor. The team will resume training as of November 1st. That day will be for any new players or people returning to the sport after an absence. That will be held at The Chester Romans' home ground of Chester Rugby Club, Hare Lane, Littleton, Chester CH3 7DB. Training will be on astroturf in the community of Frodsham, Cheshire thereafter. Details will be posted on the teams website which is www.chesterromans.com closer to the time, but feel free to email the club with any questions.
We offer a great piece of US sport right here on your UK doorstep and we hope you will join us as players, coaches, game day volunteers or fans.
Simon Taylor, General Secretary and GameDay Manager of The Chester Romans.
