Players aged between eight and 12 are eligible for flag (non-contact) football while 13-16 year-olds (born after 31/8/2002) can try the contact version.

No experience is necessary and those interested are simply asked to bring sports clothes, suitable footwear for grass and a gum shield (if playing contact).

Two more try-out sessions will take place at Sighthill Park on Saturday, September 22 and Saturday, September 29.
