football is all about

Here’s a fact not many people talk about: the most talented 14-year-old football players rarely make it to the pros. Since student-athletes grow and develop at different rates, talent at a young age is never a guarantee for long-term success.

Football isn’t just for star athletes.

What’s one of the most accessible and affordable ways to play football?

Looking for your middle schooler to be challenged? To grow? To belong?

There’s a journey waiting for you on the football field.

Why do we love Girls Flag Football?
