The three-year agreement sees Football America become the preferred sport equipment supplier of the BUCS American Football Programme.
Discounts will be available for both students and institutions who compete in BUCS’ competitions and will help make competing in American Football at university more affordable.
Additionally, Football America will use the partnership to educate institutions and teams around how using the right equipment can help prevent concussion while playing.
