We would like to thank all who have been involved in making the start of the association a reality. This is the first step we know but like it many project steps have to be taken to make it a reality.

American Tackle Football being played in Ghana

Eliasu Musah has been practicing on Sundays in Accra, Ghana

With the hopes that American Football will be organized in Ghana. Dominick Muller

has been giving American Football instructions to about 35 athletes in Ghana since he arrived. Eliasu Musah explained that

He first fell in love with American Football after watching a Video clip and has since been very interested since.

He explained that it is not easy getting people together because we have so many soccer and Rugby players, but he has

stated that the majority of the players interested in American Football are Rugby players. Getting money for equipment is

the main issue for they only have the equipment because it was donated to them by their instructor. One of the people in the photo’s is a women and she is very

Interested in American Football also. Eliasu has a real beat for the sport and has reached out to TUSAAFSS to try to get support for American Football in Ghana,

as of right now they are the only team playing American Tackle Football. Eliasu states that he would love for Ghana to not only concentrate on Soccer because

He is well aware of the many Ghanaian athletes that play in the NFL to include 2 Super Bowl winning players Charlie Peprah and Joseph Addia. It will be one of

TUSAAFSS Goals to help raise awareness about the team the Black Bison’s and try to gain support for American Tackle Football in Ghana. 

The Bison’s are going to need help with Equipment especially since they only have limited equipment but only enough to fit a handful of players.

Just like in baseball if you build it they will come. TUSAAFSS at present is working to help this team in Ghana be a model of American Football in Ghana and will be reaching

Out to as many different organizations who are willing to take the first steps with the growth of American Tackle Football in Ghana

Donald Igwebuike to kick start Kicking camps in the USA

Donald Igwebuike will start clinics spring 2011.
Donald was one of the Last African
Place kickers (Nigeria) in the NFL.
Donald has a deep rooted Soccer background
and once played for the Nigerian national Soccer team. 

NFL Career:                       

Kicker - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1985-89

First Kicker ever drafted in Tampa Bay Buccaneer history               

Rookie of the year 1985

Donald Igwebuike was the first Buccaneer to score 400 points. As a rookie, he immediately broke the team’s single-season scoring record, posting 96 points on 22-32 field goal kicking and 30-32 PAT work. Many of his attempts as a rookie came from long range – led NFL with an average attempt length of 39.9 yards. Donald was even called on to try two 62-yard attempts as a rookie. That would be a running theme in Igwebuike’s Buccaneer career, as 60 of his 127 attempts would come from 40 yards or further. He was nearly automatic from closer in, making 63 of 67 tries from 39 yards or closer for a career percentage of 94.9%. Among his longer shots was a 55-yarder at Minnesota on November 30, 1986 that was a team record at the time and is still tied for the second-longest in franchise history. After a 1988 season in which he connected on 19 of 25 field goals and, for the first time, 100% of his extra point tries (21-21), Donald had his finest NFL season in 1989. Breaking his own single-season scoring record, he recorded 99 points by nailing 22 of 28 field goals. He is the third-leading scorer in Tampa Bay Buccaneers team history. Donald also hit five game-winning field goals either in the last 20 seconds of the game or in overtime, including three in 1988 alone.

He never missed a field goal inside the 35 yards during his six years career in NFL

College Career

Clemson University 1981-1984

Iggy was the only Clemson Tiger to kick at least one 50-yard field goal in four straight seasons. He also had five career field goals of 50 or more yards to set a Clemson record. In his last three seasons he was 107-180 on non-returnable kickoffs. Third-team AP All-American who booted the longest field goal in the ACC in each of his last three seasons. He led the nation and the ACC in field goal percentage with a .941 senior season mark. Iggy came to Clemson to play soccer, a starter in two NCAA tournaments, 1980 and 1981.

explore  those not-so-good areas of the Kickers and Punters techniques and improve in those areas.

We offer kicking camps, group kicking clinics and private kicking

lessons.

                                  

                                            MISSION     

Our mission is to unlock every player's potential by assessment, analysis, adjustment, demonstration and follow-up. I will translate my kicking  experience into teaching the player's, giving them the opportunity to develop to their full potential.
