Flag Football League – Check Back for upcoming season dates

Flag Football for Kids is an introductory program for children aged 5-7, designed to prepare them for organized flag football in a fun, non-threatening environment. Using age-appropriate equipment, it teaches basic skills like throwing, catching, running, and agility, helping children and parents get ready for organized sports without the pressure of competition or fear of injury. There is no tackling and all kids will be placed on a team and coached by a vetted volunteer coach.
