Over the course of 6 sessions, Boys and Girls age 6 and 7 will learn the fundamentals of flag football, and have a ton of fun in a new sport!
Flag football is one of the fastest growing sports around the world as anyone can play, regardless of their gender, size, skill level or experience. We are excited to be adding the new “U8 KickStart Flag” program as a first step on the flag football pathway…possibly leading you all the way to the Olympics!
Participants will learn basic flag football skills, gain an understanding of the game and experience friendly competition through fun activities and flag football games. For many children at this age, this will be their first introduction to “team” sport.
Our focus is much less on competition and far more on fun and being active! Scoring is not kept as we want to encourage everyone to celebrate the successes of all players and all teams – cheering for every “score”, catch, etc.
All players register as individuals and will be assigned to a flag teams during the season, however you can request to be assigned to a team with a friend that is also registered.
All sessions will be held at the University of Winnipeg – Axworthy Health and RecPlex.

COACHES
This program will be led by seasoned coaches with the assistance of members of our high performance teams, but as with most youth sports we require parents to assist in the delivery of the program.
When you register your child you will be able to indicate that you will help us out. No football knowledge or experience is necessary, and both moms and dads are welcome! Coaching can be a ton of fun for the adults too!
