Declaration for the “twinning” of
Freeport, Maine, USA
and Inverness, Scotland

The Freeport Gridiron Club and the Inverness Blitz Academy of American Football do hereby agree to this Declaration linking the two communities for their mutual benefit.

What is Twinning?

Twinning is the term which describes a special relationship between two communities in different countries.
It is the means by which individuals, families, groups and communities get to know each other better.

A twinning should provide scope to involve people of all ages, levels and interests and should cut across boundaries, including political ones.
It is a way of taking an active interest in the affairs of another country and enjoying yourself at the same time.

How will Twinning work?

Both communities have recently formed their own American Football teams, the Freeport Gridiron Club and the Inverness Blitz Academy of American Football, and through these groups agree to the linking of their communities. The aims of this Declaration are: -

1) Sharing knowledge and experience of American Football.
2) Opportunity for visiting each other’s community.
3) Games of American Football between the two communities.
4) Working towards a student exchange policy, where players can complete a year of school and be part of the football team.
5) Coach exchange.
6) To broaden the knowledge of all about each other’s country.
