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.
Will Roberts, BUCS CEO said: “We are delighted to welcome Football America as a partner for the next three years. This partnership is designed to bring added value and opportunities for those institutions and students participating in one of our most popular and fast-growing competition programmes, American Football.
