The Jacksonville Jaguars’ aim of improving the standard of American football in the UK continued with their second annual Playing and Coaching Academy.
Legendary Jaguars quarterback, Mark Brunell said: "It's great to have American football camps like this in the UK, and we've seen real improvements in the three days we've worked with these young men and women.
"It's been really exciting to see how passionate and committed they are to the game, and it bodes really well for the future of the sport here. I've really enjoyed being a part of it all."
Team GB and London Warriors' Lucie Stewart added: "To be able to have this level of training and access to coaches who have Super Bowl rings, is such a blessing and is integral to developing the talent here, so I'm really excited to be back.
"It is a male dominated sport and I was the only female here last year! This time around I've been joined by fellow women from Team GB and London Warriors so it's great to have them here. We've given the guys a good run on the field, learned from the best in the game and had a lot of fun - We're really grateful to the Jags for the opportunity."
