{YEL!} Flag Football Classes for Kids

{YEL!} Flag Football Classes for Kids focus on:

• Introductory Skills – Players will be introduced to basic football skills, including: passing, receiving, hand offs, running back techniques, pass patterns, and understanding basic play calling.
• Safety – We want the kids to be active and learn new skills, all while being safe.  We avoid blocking and, of course, tackling.  Which minimizes contact. 
• Inclusion – Everyone participates all the time.  Each player will learn each aspect of the game.  Everyone gets an opportunity to be the quarterback, the running back, the receiving, the pass rusher on defense, etc.  All players learn how to call basic plays.  This is all inclusive.
• Game Play – We end each class (save the first) with a flag football game using the skills they’ve learned in class and following the rules of flag football.
• Fun – We keep it light and fun.  The focus is on doing better than you did at the last class, not doing better than the student next to you.
