Why
Many parents have asked me to create a flag football league for various reasons. I attended a USA Football conference in Louisville, KY and loved the USA Football Player Development Model. With the growing concerns of concussions and because some youth are not developmentally ready to play a full contact sport, this Player Development Model is a perfect solution. Non-contact flag football is the first step in this model. We can allow our youth to play non-contact flag football and develop the skills necessary to play the game of football at a step by step process. This is done greatly reducing the inherent risks of full contact football. Those players that develop and desire to play full contact football can do so when they are ready.
All coaches will be certified through USA Football. All coaches will have background checks performed. At the end of the season, the head coach of each team will provide their player's parents/guardians a player development checklist. This checklist will show where their child is developmentally on the USA Football's Player Development Model.
To summarize, we use USA Football's Player Development Model to start youth in a step by step process to develop football skills while having FUN! The risks of concussions and injury are significantly reduced because this is non-contact flag football. And everyone on the team plays!
