Confidence, Community, and Safe Play—Flag Football Starts Here!
The J offers two exciting ways for kids to experience flag football—whether they’re just starting out or ready for games. From skill-building sessions in Tiny Tacklers (Grades PreK-1) to a bit of competition through games in our Youth Flag Football League (Grades 1-6), there’s a program for every young athlete.
Youth Flag Football Programs (Grades PreK-6)
Tiny Tacklers Flag Football (Grades PreK-1)
Tiny Tacklers is designed to introduce young athletes to the core fundamentals of flag football, focusing on key skills like catching, passing, and pulling flags. As players progress through the season, game-like situations and strategies will be incorporated into each session, helping participants apply what they’ve learned in a fun, engaging way. This program is ideal for beginners looking to build a solid foundation in the sport.
Youth Flag Football League (Grades 1-6)
Youth Flag Football League offers an exciting and competitive environment with teams and game formats designed for different age groups: 1st-3rd graders play 5-on-5, while 4th-6th graders compete 6-on-6. Each team will have its own volunteer coach, and weekly practices. The season includes six weekend games with week seven being held for the end of season tournament.
Registration is individual, but full and partial teams, as well as free agents, are welcome. We also honor teammate requests! Each participant will receive a brand-new flag belt and jersey, but players are responsible for bringing their own mouthguard.
