Delft Dragons

Its first chairman was Gabriel de Scheemaker, and its first quarterback Richard Rietveld, who at the time also worked with Veronica Sport as commentator.

Towards the end of 1999, influenced by the television coverage on FOX8, a number of students decided to found an American Football team in Delft, Netherlands.

From the end of January 2000 they were in training under American Head Coach David Caraway and assistant Widjai van Dam, as a flag football team.

The Dragons defeated the Amsterdam Crusaders in the semi-final, and narrowly lost the final to the 2001 Div.2 finalists Tilburg Steelers in two periods of overtime.

However, an upturn in fortunes and confidence saw Delft rally to a 3–3–1 regular season record and obtained a playoff spot, losing 30–0 to Hoorn Unicorns in the Division Two semi-final.

Delft, strengthened by the acquisition of former Utah Utes coach Sean McNabb, went on to post a 5–2 regular season record.

The Dragons, in their first top flight appearance since their rebirth, had lost coach Sean McNabb and a lot of starting players, and were hoping to post a record worthy of remaining in the 1st Division.

In the semi-final the overwhelming favourite Maastricht Wildcats were shocked 15–13 and van Dam had led a Delft team further than anyone before him—to Tulip Bowl XXII.

The Dragons, with a small squad, lost all their regular season games and were relegated to American Football Bond Nederland Division Two.

The Dragons played in the 2009/2010 flag football season, but the lack of new players forced the team to quit operations in the summer of 2010.
