NFL team the Jacksonville Jaguars will once again give British players the chance to be coached by American professionals this summer.

Jaguars coaching staff and former star players will run a three-day residential training camp at Brunel University from July 13-15, aimed at giving amateur players "a genuine feel of practising at the highest level" following on from the success of last year's event.

They will offer world-class coaching to the participants, providing guidance to all positions on the field, both offensive and defensive.

Places are limited and the cost to attend is £250, which includes full kit, laundry, residency at Brunel and on-site food and beverages.

"We're excited to be returning to the UK for another year of the Jaguars Academy," said Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone. "We couldn't have been happier with the response from last summer's inaugural event and in 2017, the academy will be even better.
