Get ready to run, catch, and score in our exciting YMCA Youth Flag Football League! This co-ed league is perfect for kids looking to learn the fundamentals of football in a fun, safe, and team-focused environment.

The YMCA is excited to partner with USA Football! Through their generosity, the YMCA has been granted new flag belts and footballs which will be used for this league!

Each week includes a Thursday evening practice (5:30p) where players build skills like passing, receiving, teamwork, and strategy—followed by Saturday morning games (Kickoff 9a) where they put their skills to the test in friendly, fast-paced matchups. Referees will be available this year to give the kids a real taste of organized football!

Whether your child is new to the sport or already loves football, this league encourages healthy competition, sportsmanship, and physical activity for all skill levels.
