Elementary Flag Football, Congratulations!

Yesterday’s flag football tryouts were a huge success! It was fantastic watching the kids learn and have fun together. We’re excited to announce the formation of two teams: Team Crimson and Team Gold.

Player placement was determined based on observed skills and grade levels. The coaches are eager to start building team spirit and teaching new football fundamentals.

Our first games will in the Elementary Jamboree THIS Saturday at Sacred Heart:

You can wear cleats or tennis shoes at the game, and you will need a water bottle.  We will have pennies/jerseys for your player.

Remember, this is a jamboree to get everyone comfortable with game play, look at positions on both teams, and build teamwork.  Since this sport is new for many, it's a great way to kick off the season! And we are hosting this jamboree so we will need 2 parents to help on Saturday with Gate & Scorekeeper. If you could volunteer, please text Coach Jackie, 865-207-7297.

Please let Coach Thomas know if you CANNOT attend by texting 404-804-9678.  We assume if you do not text Coach you will be there ready to play on Saturday.
