Season Dates for the 2007 NFL Flag Football season are from September 8 through November 3, 2007

The NFL Flag Football league is a part of the City’s Youth Sports Program, which teaches skills and strategies related to sports in a manner designed to develop self-confidence and improve physical abilities and conditioning while having fun.

“The Youth Sports programs are designed to teach children how to win as a team and as individuals by building character and self-esteem. This kind of winning is not always reflected in the score or the standings, but is seen in the development of the child as a player and in the team as a unit,” commented City Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Supervisor Richard Carr.
