Kicking Off Excitement: YMCA Youth Flag Football League Opens Registration

The Quincy Family YMCA is set to launch an exhilarating season of youth flag football, much to the delight of local families. This fall, boys and girls from first through fourth grade have the opportunity to don their jerseys and leap into a dynamic game that promises not only fun but also a path to learn key skills. “As stated in Muddy River Sports,” the league focuses on creating an environment where players can develop their talents while fostering sportsmanship and team spirit.

A Season of Learning and Growth

Running from September 8 through October 13, the YMCA’s youth flag football league divides athletes into two groups based on their grades: 1st/2nd grade and 3rd/4th grade divisions. Through engaging drills and games, young athletes will delve into the fundamentals of flag football, honing skills that will serve them both on and off the field.

Why Flag Football?

Flag football is an ideal pathway for introducing children to the world of sports, particularly for those who are new to the game. Since it is non-contact, it underscores safety while still capturing the excitement and strategy of football. Moreover, it offers an excellent platform for children to learn the value of teamwork and discipline.

Secure Your Spot

With a registration deadline of August 22, spots in this popular program are expected to fill up quickly. Families eager to enroll their budding athletes are encouraged to act promptly. Games will be held every Monday and Wednesday, ensuring a consistent rhythm that helps in skill development throughout the season.

How to Register

Registration, as well as additional information, can be found by visiting the Quincy Family YMCA website at quincyymca.net. Alternatively, interested parties can get in touch with program coordinator Michael Cody at [email protected] for personalized assistance.

Join the Community Spirit

Participation in the YMCA flag football league not only builds individual skills but also strengthens the community bond. Parents and guardians are equally invited to be a part of this experience, cheering from the sidelines and supporting the young athletes in their journey.

Don’t miss out on what promises to be an enriching and fun-filled sporting season for your child!
