Our Flag Football program is offered in the fall and spring seasons for boys and girls. It encourages healthy competition rather than rivalry, the value of participating over winning, and team building over individual glorification. This program has no tryouts and everyone is welcome. Thanks to the YMCA’s and Flag Football rules, kids participate in every game and receive equal playing time, regardless of skill level. The YMCA’s volunteer coaches will emphasize skill development and most importantly, having fun!
Players will have fun while developing an appreciation for sports and physical activity. They will practice skills while learning sportsmanship and teamwork.
Participants should register based on the calendar grade of Fall 2022 to end of Summer 2023 school year.
The Youth Teams (NFL Flag Football) will play a regular 7-week season.
The Pre-School Teams (Itty Bitty Flag Football) will have a 6-week season. The first 3 weeks, the players will learn the fundamentals of the sports. The last 3 weeks, the players will play games among each other (they will not play against the older divisions.)
NFL Flag Football is 1st-8th grade ONLY. The NFL teams/jerseys are selected by the COACH ONLY. Players do not select their NFL team/jerseys. Pre-school flag football will receive regular jerseys.
All teams are co-ed.
