Flag Football DiSE Programme to Launch in Autumn

Sporting excellence at Loughborough College is due to expand, adding a DiSE qualification with Flag Football to an already wide range of sports, this October.

This exciting new opportunity, in partnership with the British American Football Association (BAFA), allows aspiring athletes to maximise both their sporting and academic potential whilst pursuing a world-class dual-career path.

For the 23-24 academic year, ten places are available for athletes who fit the DiSE criteria profile, and a submission of interest can be made online now. The team at Loughborough College are keen to hear from not only student athletes currently playing Flag Football, but also those with no previous experience of the game who demonstrate passion and motivation to commit to this exciting new programme.

Head of Elite Sport at Loughborough College, Matt O’Dowd, said, “Flag Football is gaining momentum in the UK, and our athletes have access to a fantastic range of teaching and training. Bringing Flag Football to the growing range of sports available at Loughborough College continues to cement us as an industry leader.”

To support the launch of the DiSE Flag Football programme, the team at BAFA are recruiting for a Lead Coach & Assessor role to play a crucial role in delivering the DiSE qualification. More details about the vacancy can be found on the BAFA website.

Flag Football joins the vast range of sports programmes available at Loughborough College, offering bespoke delivery models to each sport, ensuring performers are provided with the best possible support to develop their futures on and off the field.
