Flag Football - Kindergarten-6th Grade

What is the Program?

The program is designed to introduce boys to football who are currently enrolled in Kindergarten through 6th grade and live in the Anthony Wayne School District. This is a non-contact football league.

This league extends from August to October, offers 1-2 practices/week, and games against other Anthony Wayne teams. Our volunteer parent coaches develop the skills necessary to play the game of football throughout the season -- passing, catching, stance, plays, defense, etc. Focusing on the basics and applying them to a game setting is to prepare them for the organized football that continues into contact football and junior high school.
