Q: How competitive is Hall of Fame Flag Football?
Competition is good and our challenge to the kids is to learn, do their best, make friends and have fun. This is a non-contact, non-competitive, recreational league--meaning, we aren't like a travel team..we are a community program that will focus on the value of the experiences gained from overcoming challenges, winning, losing, and more. The kids will learn, understand and improve skills, and to build camaraderie. We are focused on building character and instilling values that can be used both on and off the field.

Q: Who are your coaches?
A: Moms, Dads, Aunts or Uncles, even Grandparents can coach in our program. You only need some patience, a bit of organization (herding) skills and the desire to have fun teaching youth participants. We will always have an on-site Administrator and staff at each location, each day at our games and events. Coaches will be background checked and certified through NFL Flag/USA Football and insured. We take this seriously and we'll assist you in learning this great game, and provide you the tools to be successful and have the kids want to come back the following season. Local high-school athletes and leaders in each community will be involved with teams as assistants as well. Look for more information prior to each session about this.
