flag football

Ready, Set, Hike

As a no-contact sport, flag football brings all the fun of football, just without the pain and high risk of injury. We emphasize the importance of leadership, sportsmanship, and the ability to work in a team. These skills are coupled with an opportunity to get outside and get some exercise in a fun and exciting way. They will make lifelong friends as they learn how to work together and develop their balance, coordination and get some fitness in to boot.
