The teams that form the Legion all maintain their own identities and train locally. The Mavs u19s and u17s train every Sunday at Simon Langton Boys School in Cantebury.
Once a month the 3 teams take turns to travel to each other’s home grounds to work together.
Several additional Kent teams are currently in discussions to join the program.

American football evolved in the United States, originating from the sports of association football and rugby football. The first game of American football was played on November 6, 1869, between two college teams, Rutgers and Princeton, under rules based on the association football rules of the time. During the latter half of the 1870s, colleges playing association
football switched to the Rugby Union code, which allowed carrying the ball. A set of rule changes drawn up from 1880 onward by Walter Camp, the “Father of American Football”, established the snap, eleven-player teams, and the concept of downs; later rule changes legalized the forward pass, created the neutral zone, and specified the size and shape of the football.
