Sport camp offering chance to kick-start American football career
A new sports programme is offering young athletes a chance to kick-start an American football career. Bridge Kickers, a transatlantic sports development company, is launching its first-ever American football kicking camp in the UK. The one-day event will take place at Tilsley Park in Abingdon on Saturday, September 21, and will be led by former NFL kicker Josh Lambo. Josh Millrood, co-founder of Bridge Kickers, said: "Our mission is to help any athlete — whether they're coming from football, rugby, cricket, or no organised sport at all — unlock the opportunity to play college football in the U.S. "If you've got a strong leg and the drive to learn, we'll teach you the rest. "We're not just looking for pros — we're building futures." The camp is open to athletes aged 16 and over and offers professional instruction in kicking and punting, technical video analysis, and on-field feedback. Participants will also receive education on scholarship pathways and recruitment in the US college system. The programme is designed to help UK athletes earn full scholarships in American football and potentially reach the NFL. Attendance costs £100, with limited financial aid available for recently released academy players and those from underserved communities.

Wolfsburg routs 5th-tier team Hemelingen 9-0 in German Cup
BERLIN (AP) — Wolfsburg routed fifth-tier SV Hemelingen 9-0 in the first round of the German Cup on Saturday, when other Bundesliga teams also enjoyed big wins over lower-league opposition. Two-time champion Leipzig twice came from behind to beat fourth-tier SV Sandhausen 4-2 with new signings Ezechiel Banzuzi and Yan Diomande both scoring. Heidenheim won 5-0 at 10-man fourth-tier Bahlinger SC and Hoffenheim won 4-0 at third-division Hansa Rostock. Hamburger SV, which clinched its return to the Bundesliga last season, survived a scare at fifth-tier Pirmasens, equalizing late to send the match to extra time, where Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer headed the winner for 2-1. Königsdörffer was only playing for Hamburg because a proposed early August move to Nice broke down after his medical check with the French team. Bochum also needed a late goal to level before prevailing 3-1 at nine-man Dynamo Berlin. ___ AP soccer:

Report – Inter Milan Unsure What Position To Spend On With Two Weeks Left To Go In Transfer Window
Inter Milan are reportedly unsure of which position on the pitch to spend on in the last couple weeks of the transfer window. This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri have around €40 million more to invest in the market. Inter Milan have already made a few signings this summer. The Nerazzurri have brought in midfielder Petar Sucic, wingback Luis Henrique, and striker Ange-Yoan Bonny. However, Inter have been quiet in the market for the past several weeks. At least in terms of actually getting deals done. Inter have been strongly linked with a move for Atalanta's Ademola Lookman for a month. They have reportedly gone as high as €45 million with their bids for the Nigerian. Meanwhile, this past week Inter reportedly made an offer for Roma midfielder Manu Kone. Inter Milan Unsure Where To Invest In Last Two Weeks Of Transfer Window According to Sky Sport Italia, Inter still aren't quite sure where they're going to make a signing. There are a number of possibilities. Signing a forward or a holding a midfielder would both be potential options. But on the other hand, Inter could also decide to sign a defender. They have already missed out on the likes of Koni De Winter and Giovanni Leoni. According to Sky Sport Italia, Inter have around €40 million left to spend. However, the broadcaster report, the Nerazzurri still haven't made a firm decision on where to invest it. They will wait to see what opportunities open up before deadline day.
