Flag football is one of the premier sports programs we offer at the Y. Each year, hundreds of boys and girls age 3 years old through eighth grade learn the fundamentals of the game in a way that reduces the risk of injury and helps ensure a positive experience for all.
This no-contact sport is offered in the fall. Participation in our Rookie league is FREE with a Family membership; financial assistance is available for those who qualify. We do not want cost to be a barrier for anyone who wants to play.
Our program emphasizes the importance of leadership, sportsmanship and teamwork in a fun and safe environment. Volunteer coaches instill an appreciation for the game and inspire kids to be the best they can be.
