“The Norwich Devils American Football Club, established in 1984, is one of the oldest clubs in the British American Football League. With a storied history, the Devils have joined the National British League and have secured a BNGL National Championship and two Division 2 Championship wins. After a hiatus in 2011 due to struggling player numbers, the club has successfully rebuilt itself and made the playoffs in their first two seasons back in the league.
The Devils' vision is to set the standard for American Football in the UK while staying true to their ethos. They believe in building a programme that encompasses every aspect of the team, both on and off the field. The Devils welcome everyone to join their community, emphasising a commitment to the team, the sport, and each other. No one person is greater than the team, and they prioritise taking care of each other both on and off the field.
Thanks to the support of their sponsors, including their major sponsor K Foley Ltd in 2020, the Devils are able to continue their mission and provide an exceptional experience for their players and fans. Their sponsors play a vital role in helping the club thrive and contribute to the growth of American Football in the Norwich community.
In addition to their senior team, the Devils are actively developing their youth programme to meet the increasing demand for participation in the sport in the Norfolk area. They also have a women's team, known as the Norwich Devils Women's Team. Competing nationally in the Division 2 National Sapphire 7 on 7 Series and representing the Devils in the Diamond 11 on 11 Series, these badass women are sure to raise some hell on the field.
The Devils are based at Hell's Gate in the East of Norwich, specifically at Thorpe St Andrew High School. They hold training sessions on Sunday afternoons and often have additional evening sessions during the week. Parking is available at the school car park opposite the ground or at the adjacent Fitzmaurice Park.
