Yorkshire Academy Assassins- Return to Play- Three Peaks Challenge

Hi There!

We are a group of Youth & Junior players that are passionate about the development of the sport in the UK and we think it is important to support our club, particularly in times of Covid. Investing in equipment like Balls, Cones or Protective gear will always be paramount to facilitate a player focused, developmental practice environment, having these basics doesn't only create a safer practice environment but one where players can progress without the need to provide their own equipment, this boosts participation in the sport that we love, and helps us spread the word about the amazing community of British American football.

To help fund our club, the Yorkshire Academy Assassins, fund investments to replace old kit that may become unsafe, and provide new equipment that will aid in the development of players; we wanted to do something active!

Our group of 6 athletes will be completing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge on Saturday the 10th of April, this is a 24 mile walk in the Yorkshire Dales including the 'three peaks' Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent. Transport to the walk and the completion of the challenge itself will be done in a Covid Safe manner and will be done in accordance with current Covid guidance.

The group will be lead by Teddy Hope, an Assassins and GB player, and also a member of the BAFA Athletes Committee. Teddy has completed the walk twice previously, most recently on August the 1st 2020, with fellow players, Alfie Thompson and Oskar Oldcorn (pictured above), Organised by Teddy to raise money as part of the 'road to the superbowl challenge' hosted by Carnegie American football ('CAF') at Leeds Beckett University.

Any Support given would be hugely appreciated and if you are interested in getting involved in the game come along to practice and get stuck in!

Thanks for your support and stay safe!
