Flag football program for schools — students playing on campus

  • School based

    Programs run on your child’s own campus, so there is no extra drive at the end of a workday.

  • Professional coaching

    Trained coaches create a positive environment while teaching proper technique, teamwork, and an understanding of the game.

  • Every ability level

    First-timers and experienced players train in the same session, and both leave better than they arrived.

  • Non-contact and safe

    Flag football means pulling a flag, not tackling. Structured sessions, supervised throughout.

Why flag football

What kids take home from a season

  • Speed and agility

    Running, cutting, catching, reacting. The kind of movement that carries into every other sport they try.

  • Confidence

    Every player touches the ball. Every player learns to do something in November they could not do in September.

  • Teamwork

    Nothing in flag football works unless four other kids do their job too. That lesson lands faster on a field than in a classroom.

  • Decision making

    Read the field, pick an option, live with the result, go again. Ten times a game, every game.

  • Leadership

    Older players learn to bring the younger ones along. Teachers tend to notice it before parents do.

  • Fun

    The reason they ask to come back next season. We take that part as seriously as the rest of it.

Questions

The things parents ask first

What grades are this for?
Kindergarten through fifth grade. Sessions are grouped by age so a first grader is never lined up across from a fifth grader.
Does my child need experience?
No. Many players arrive having never held a football. The season starts at the basics and builds from there, and coaches are used to running a session where the range of ability is wide.
Is flag football safe?
Flag football is non-contact. There is no tackling. A play ends when a defender pulls a flag from the ball carrier’s belt. Sessions are structured and supervised from start to finish.
Do boys and girls play together?
Yes. Every program is co-ed and open to all students at the school.
What does my child need to bring?
Athletic clothes, closed-toe shoes, their flags and a water bottle. We bring the footballs, cones, and everything else.
Where do programs take place?
At your child’s own elementary school, so there is no travel. We currently serve schools across Charlotte, Matthews, Mint Hill, Indian Trail, Huntersville, Concord, Gastonia, Fort Mill, Rock Hill and the surrounding communities.
How long are the sessions?
Typically 45 to 60 minutes, straight after school. Exact timing varies by school. Email us for the schedule at your location.
My school is not listed. What now?
Send us the school name and we will reach out to the administration directly. Interest from families is what usually gets a new campus started, so it genuinely helps to hear from you.
