Flag Football Fundamentals (ages 7 – 8)
Sign-up, learn and have fun!
- Taught by our instructors, this is a high-energy, super interactive 50-minute session teaching passing, receiving, flag-pulling and running patterns.
- The ‘season’ culminates in modified, age appropriate game play.
Flag Football (ages 9 – 16)
Sign-up, show your stuff and get drafted!
- All players must go through a mandatory evaluation. It’s 15 minutes of catching, running and throwing.
