What to Expect
Discover the excitement of NFL style flag football, a fast-growing, non-contact sport perfect for children aged 5 to 12. This fun and safe activity introduces your child to one of America's favourite pastimes with teamwork, speed, and skill.
Forget tackling and blocking; flag football focuses on agility and forward passing, making it an ideal introduction to gridiron football. Two age-specific sessions ensure your child enjoys a tailored experience suited to their size and athletic ability.
Whether your child is new to sports or looking for a fresh challenge, this session promises energetic fun and skill-building in a supportive environment.
