The Jacksonville Jaguars UK and the Union Jack Classic delivered the first Elite Series Clinic in London, bringing together aspiring American football players for a day of high-performance coaching and on-field development.
The Clinic was held ahead of the first-ever college football game at Wembley Stadium, with the Union Jack Classic bringing in University of Kansas Jayhawks Head Coach Lance Leipold, whose team is competing, to support the session.
Hosted at Kings House Sports Ground in Chiswick, the event welcomed 100 athletes across two age categories (18–22 and 23+), giving participants access to elite coaching and a structured, competitive training environment.
Coaching was delivered by the University of Kansas, a Big 12 Conference team, one of the most competitive in U.S. college football, alongside Jacksonville Jaguars UK staff and experienced BAFA coaches.
Throughout the day, players took part in combine-style assessments, position-specific drills and controlled competitive periods, mirroring elements of NCAA Division I training.
Designed for players already competing at an advanced level, the clinic focused on refining technical ability, improving positional understanding and exposing attendees to the standards expected within top-tier American football programmes.
The Elite Series Clinics form part of the broader collaboration between the Jacksonville Jaguars UK and the Union Jack Classic, aimed at strengthening the domestic American football pathway while building momentum ahead of the inaugural Union Jack Classic fixture at Wembley Stadium on 19 September 2026.
