Flag Football (K-2nd)
Subscribe to our NewsletterFlag Football Kindergarten Clinic
What: Kindergarten Flag Clinic
When: 2018 Schedule TBD
What to bring: water
Cost: $25
This introduction to flag football will focus on the very basics of the game.
Players will learn skills such as:
- stance
- snapping the ball
- pursuit
- carrying the ball
- basic football game flow
The 1 hour sessions consist of:
- 30 minutes of practice
- 30 minutes of scrimmage
- Water as needed
Expectations of parents:
- Please stay for the duration of practice
- If there are behavior issues, give coaches a few minutes to resolve, but step in if needed
- Notify coaches as soon as possible if you cannot make a session
Please spread the word to friends about this program. It is tough getting in touch with current pre-school students. Our goal would be to get 14-20 players registered, but will run camp with as few as 10.
As always, send any questions to jrpolars@gmail.com
Flag Football 1st/2nd Grade
Philosophy:
- F - FUN - This level of flag is for fun. We do keep score, but the goal is to get boys and girls excited about football
- L - Learning - Players will learn the basics of the game, carrying the ball, blocking, pursuing, evading, and STANCE
- A - Attendence - We expect our coaches, parents, and players to make as many games and practices as possible. Excessive abscenses may affect game playing time
- G - Game - It is a game, but not the superbowl. Coaches are expected to provide equal playing time and opportunities for success.
