YMCA Youth Flag Football is a great fundamental program for both boys and girls that teaches the skills and teamwork of football without unnecessary collisions for younger players.

Kids of all ages will throw and catch a football, make interceptions, pull flags on defense, and run for touchdowns – all while having a good time, making friends, and getting great exercise at the Y. Most of all, they will participate equally, growing in confidence, learning in a slower-paced fundamentals-first environment, directed by caring YMCA staff and nurturing volunteers.
