Home Of The Tamaki Lightning

The bar has been raised for American Football in New Zealand. The teams are getting stronger, coaching is getting better and the Lightning are pleased to be a part of this wonderful sport. With the growth of the sport and the level of play dramatically improving with each season, the future of American Football in New Zealand looks very promising.

The Tamaki Lightning are always looking for new players. We feel we do an excellent job at the club of teaching the basics of the sport so that you can learn properly, be successful and enjoy the physical/strategical nature of this sport.

With the Upcoming Season just around the corner, trainings are held at Millhouse Reserve, Botany on Tuesdays and Thursdays (6:15-8:30pm). Games are played on Saturdays at Mountford Park in Manurewa

The Tamaki Lightning are looking to rebuild the Junior (13 - 16yr olds) and Colts (16 - 20yr olds) Teams in the upcoming seasons as well As further strengthening the Seniors Team.  Come try something new, come try something different, and be prepared to fall in love with a high intensity, hard hitting, strategic thinking, physical game. Playing experience is not important at all.

The 2011-2012 season saw the Seniors dig out of an early hole and finish strong.  After losing the first three games by narrow margins, they went on to win four straight, including three shut-out wins.  Eventually the boys met a strong Hawks side in the semi-finals and lost by a narrow 12-8.  The Hawks then went on to win the Championship game against the Papatoetoe Wildcats.  Congratulations to the Hamilton Hawks for a much deserved Championship season.
