Did you know that Youth flag football is a great team sport option for children? West Covina Bruins are now registering as young as five years old!
The sport offers kids the chance to play, work and have fun with a group of other children and teaches them skills to work together. Teamwork is a big aspect of flag football as kids learn how important it is to collaborate with others and work towards a common goal.
Here are some of the benefits of playing flag football:
1. Skill position fundamentals. Young athletes can learn throwing and receiving mechanics without contact.
2. Defensive fundamentals. Flag players have to see the ball, play the pass and grab the flag. Grabbing a flag can sometimes be harder than making a tackle. The proper technique in grabbing a flag is transferable to tackle football and helps with proper technique.
3. Work ethic. Just like everything else in life, reaching goals requires work. Flag offers another great environment for kids of all levels to participate in and learn the benefits of working hard individually and as a team.
