Football

Join us in the fall for 5 Saturday mornings of youth flag football sponsored by the Recreation Department and NFL FLAG PROGRAM. Open for girls and boys currently in 1st - 4th grade.
Participants will receive an OFFICIAL NFL JERSEY of their team choice!!

Flag Football teaches the basic skills of football. Running, passing, receiving and defending. Games involve non-contact rules that eliminate all forms of blocking and tackling. The program is played on a 50 yd. playing field where participants may run or pass the ball. Teams start at their 5-yard line and have three downs to move the ball past midfield. Once a team has crossed midfield they receive a new set of three downs to score. Flag football is a non-physical approach to the game of football. Instead of tackling an opponent, you pull the flag attached to the person with the ball's belt to cause a stoppage in play. It's a great activity to get kids active and social!
