Children are introduced to the game of flag football and work to develop coordination and basic athletic skills through fun and imaginative game-like drills. The focus is on ensuring each player has fun and develops a love for the game, in addition to learning the rules and the importance of teamwork.
Passing: Players will learn the hand without the football points to the target or the receiver. Making sure to follow through on their throws. Point -step -throw.
Receiving: Players will learn to form a target with both hands, palms facing out with thumbs and pointing fingers touching. Making sure their fingers form a triangle.
Running: Players will learn at least one "run pass route".
Teamwork: Players will learn to work together on simple plays in order to move the ball down the field and score a touchdown.
Sideline cheerleaders excite the fans at our Flag Football games. Sideline Cheerleaders will learn fundamental cheers and chants, as well as developing the skills to perform a halftime routine, which will support their team and energize their fans from kick off to final whistle. If your child has team spirit, high energy, enthusiasm, and want to have fun; then our Sideline Cheer program is for them.
The Sideline Cheer program is designed to provide a positive and nourishing environment that focuses on teamwork, building self-confidence, and having fun! No experience is required.
**Registration is $40 per child and includes a Cheer T-Shirt, Shorts, and Pom Poms.**
The Cheer season will coincide with Flag Football
