Super Bowl XXIV till the early hours of Monday morning. The most
repeated comment has been "best party ever" and the Wolves are proud to
announce that with just under 400 people in attendance over the course
of the night, it has been a great
success for the club. Thanks to all those who came and created a
fantastic atmosphere, especially the Saints and Colts Fans, Sportsters
Staff, Napier Edinburgh Mavericks and of course the Edinburgh Wolves
Staff, Team and Cheerleaders.
With the party over, the Wolves now focus on the 2010 BAFL Season for the Adult and Junior Teams. With training continuing on Sunday 14th February, the Wolves expect to see some new faces, as there has been a massive response from people inspired by the Super Bowl coverage to take up playing the game.

WOLVES TO HOST SUPER BOWL PARTY AT SPORTSTERS, EDINBURGH!
The
Edinburgh Wolves once again host their annual Super Bowl Party at
Sportsters, Edinburgh on Sunday the 7th of Feb. With the NFL Playoffs
starting this weekend the focus of American Football fans will turn to
the big end of US season games and the biggest prize in the sport - The
Super Bowl. This years' game will be held in Miami and while Scottish
fans will be wishing for a bit of Florida weather at the moment, the
Wolves Super Bowl Party at Sportsters will show the game live from kick
off to the final whistle.
WOLVES TRAINING RETURNS TO THE GREAT OUTDOORS
With
three indoor training sessions of 2010 under their belts the Edinburgh
Wolves are raring to get outside again and run around in fresh air.
This Sunday 31st of Jan at 1pm they get their chance with the return of Wolves training to Jack Kane Centre, Edinburgh.
New
Players, Rookies who missed football school as well as those who
graduated and all returning players should attend and be on site at
12:15pm. A change of clothes, gum shield and boots for running on grass
are required.
The Wolves Junior Team will be training from 9:15am.
SCOTLAND NEEDS AMERICAN FOOTBALL REFEREES
Edinburgh Wolves have joined forces with all of the Scottish American Football Clubs to seek out new referees for the sport. At the moment there are only seven referees in Scotland but 15 clubs! The number of referees is so low that it means clubs schedules are under threat and some games could be cancelled or go ahead with no referees! With the sport growing in Scotland at adult, youth and junior levels the lack of referees is a major drawback to the development of the sport. The media campaign for more referees has already been covered on BBC Radio Scotland , STV North , and the BBC Website . Refereeing American Football is a great way for ex Claymores Fans and NFL fans who watch the sport on TV to help support the sport locally without having to take up playing the game. If you or someone you know might be interested in becoming a referee visit www.scottishamericanfootball.info for more on the story.
WOLVES TAKE WINTER BREAK AND WISH YOU ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL IN THE NEW YEAR!

Both the Junior and Adult teams will welcome graduates of Football School, returning players and brand new recruits. Keep checking the website for more details. In the mean time we wish you all a merry christmas!

"It's two weeks from our try outs and already we've got guys in pads and helmets block and tackling at a level which means they'll be pushing for starting spots in 2010. Blocking and Tackling is what this sport is all about and it's impressive that so many rookies have picked it up so quickly. We'll still be keeping the door open for recruiting, but football school is giving our rookies a great head start!

WOLVES CONFIRM NEW JUNIOR TEAM HEAD COACH
The Edinburgh Wolves are glad to announce the appointment of Scott Norel-Wilson as the Wolves Junior team's new Head Coach.
Coach Norel-Wilson has been with the Wolves for 4 years, starting out as a player, then moving into coaching beginning as Offensive Assistant Coach with the Seniors Wolves Team. From there Coach Norel-Wilson was promoted to the positional Wide Reciever Coach - a position he also fills with the Edinburgh Napier Mavericks - and was also appointed the Offensive Coach for the Wolves Junior Squad for the 2009 season.
Wolves Senior Head Coach and Director of Football, Don Edmonston, announced the appointment and stated “Scott has been slowly learning his craft as part of the Wolves Coaches Training Program. He will bring enthusiasm with his coaching and is hard working and a real student of the game. Scott was one of our first general assistant coaches, a program we have been running since 2006 to develop new coaches. This first Head Coaching appointment shows that he has great potential in the game. I'm certain he will have a positive impact on the Junior squad. He is inheriting a good team from former Junior Team Head Coach Campbell Lewis."
Previous Head Coach Campbell Lewis stepped down from the Wolves Junior Team earlier this month and Coach Edmonston had nothing but praise for his efforts over the last couple of years. “I would like to thank Campbell for all the hard work he has done over the last 2 seasons with the Junior Team. He came in and built a solid program, installing sound fundamentals to the squad. Many of these players are now with our Fusion Youth Team and will move onto the Senior Squad next year. The team is in a much better position now than when he took over, and that was his remit at the outset, to bring stability and unity to the squad. So we thank him for all his efforts and he will be missed by players and coaches alike”.
The Edinburgh Wolves Junior team will announce their return to training in preparation for the 2010 season very soon. Details will be released as soon as Coach Norel-Wilson has his staff in place.
