Flag football has become one of the fastest-growing youth sports in the country. We are partnering with the NFL to offer a co-ed flag football league to the Harrisburg area. NFL FLAG leagues are no contact, giving kids of all abilities a chance to develop their fundamental football skills in a positive, inclusive environment. Our league will help kids discover the importance of sportsmanship, teamwork, and friendship – both on and off the field. Our league will consist of two skills assessment days. Each player will also receive an official NFL FLAG team jersey and a set of flags.

No prior experience is necessary—this program is perfect for beginners and experienced athletes alike. Players will be grouped by age to ensure fair competition and age-appropriate instruction.

Each season includes weekly practices, official games, and opportunities for players to showcase their skills while having fun and making new friends.
