A Quick Chat With Coach

The season opener is just a week away now, so I sat down with Andy Dickins, our Club Chair for a chat about the the Cheetahs, the upcoming season and its challenges, and why he still loves mixing it in the trenches on a Sunday afternoon! 

It was Scrimmage Week 1 this week, and an enlightening experience it was too. I take a trip down the Nostalgia Motorway with an account of our SFC2 South Semi-Final against Blitz B, whilst offering a bit of a scouting report on them.

A bumper edition this episode, with a review of last Sunday, an interview with Defensive Captain Kayode Sampson, and a look at Oxford Saints, a worthy opponent for us this season. I didn't think this one would ever see the light of day, but it's here! 

We're deep into preseason now, and things are getting physical! Have a listen as I reveal some great news for the Adult team!

For the first time in what seems like a generation, we have actual games to look forward to. I'll be telling you who we are playing, when, and where. Not long to go now!

Week Three saw the D line get their shoulders on, hear how that went, plus linebackers continue to arrive, and some nice words about our brilliant juniors. 

Another busy week in Cheetahs American Football! I've got some practice notes, I'll talk about BAFA's alignments for this year, and stay for epoch-defining news coming out of the adult team! 

Yes, football is back and I love it. Hear how our first session back went, whether we've picked up any players, and how one of our coaches REALLY outkicked his coverage.

We're FINALLY going back to practice, here's how you negotiate the admin minefield to become a Cheetah! I'll be talking about how to register with BAFA, how to get onto the Club's books, and some tips on buying kit. There's also advice for players wanting to transfer to the Cheetahs, university students, and graduating players from our Junior programme.BAFA Portal login: https://bafa.azolve.com/Account.mvc/Login?ReturnUrl=%2f Football America UK: https://www.footballamerica.co.uk/en/ 

This is a brief episode to explain why I'm starting this podcast, and what's in it for you, the listener!
