TEAMS

Seniors

Ages 18+

The Senior Team of the Groningen Giants competes in the national American football league and represents the strength, passion, and teamwork of our club. Our roster combines experienced athletes and new talent, all driven by the same goal: to grow, compete, and support each other on and off the field.

We train twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays from 20:00 to 22:00, at our home field in Groningen. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the sport, you're welcome to join us and see what it means to be a Giant.

JUNIORS

Ages 14-18

The Youth Team of the Groningen Giants is where future champions are made. Open to players aged 13 to 18, our program focuses on building skills, confidence, and a strong team spirit in a supportive and challenging environment.

Our youth players train every Wednesday from 18:30 to 20:30 and join the Senior Team on Mondays from 20:00 to 22:00 for joint practices, gaining valuable experience and mentorship.

The Giants youth squad competes as part of a national combined team, joining forces with other Dutch clubs to face international opponents in friendly and tournament games. This gives our players the unique opportunity to develop at a high level and represent the Netherlands abroad.

New players are always welcome—no experience needed, just motivation and a love for the game!

CHEERLEADING

Ages 18+

Cheerleading is a tough blend of stunts, chants, dance, tumbles and jumps. Some consider this one of the toughest sports in the world; mixing strength and endurance into what we like to think of a 2:30 minute sprint of performing. But hearing the scream of the crowd and the adrenaline of your teammates makes everything worth it! Honestly, there is nothing like the thrill of nailing a new move or the trust and support that you gain with your stunt group throughout the year.

In cheerleading, you are your own cheerleader, for you and the team, which is why the atmosphere you will find in our classes is honestly like no other. The bond of our organisation and the energy that we bring to each practice is always incredible, we couldn’t be prouder of our team.

The Groningen Giants started in September 2019, supported by the incredibly talented American football team (Groningen Giants). Since then we have successfully won our first competition with the AFBN, performing in the Senior Mixed Cheer category, and winning the spirit award of the whole competition. We are always looking for new members and would love for you to join us in this journey! If you are interested in coming to our practices click on our join page!
