OLG is excited to announce Girls Flag Football for the Spring.
​
This sport is expanding rapidly with each NFL team sponsoring their own regional leagues and tournaments. Since 2015, there are over 1.5 million 6 to 12-year-olds who have started playing flag football.
The focus is to teach flag football basics while having fun and being competitive. The league is open to all girls in 5th through 8th grade who are members of OLG and attend PREP or Catholic School. We plan to form junior varsity (5th and 6th grade) and varsity (7th and 8th grade) teams. Commitment will be minimal with one practice a week and one game on Saturdays.
Practice location/time is TBD, while games will be held at one of three locations - Mary Mother of the Redeemer Parish, Corpus Christi Parish, or Lansdale Catholic HS. Players' jerseys, flags, and footballs will be provided by the program; however, mouth guards will be required and need to be purchased separately. Football gloves and cleats are optional but recommended.
We will need coaches and volunteers and there will be refereeing opportunities for high school students.​
