Football:  Flag Football  -->  Instructional Tackle  -->  Competitive Tackle 

•  Kindergarten & Grade 1: Combined flag program – perfect for learning basics in a fun, non-contact setting, emphasizing skills, confidence, and enjoyment. This program prioritizes building strong fundamentals early and transitioning players more effectively into tackle.

•  Grades 2 & 3: Instructional tackle football, where coaches are allowed on the field to provide direct, hands-on coaching, teach proper techniques safely, guide plays, and support young players as they learn the full game at an appropriate pace.

•   Grades 4-8: Continue with standard tackle divisions, building on that solid foundation for more competitive play.

This is a streamlined football progression, designed to improve skill development, enhance safety through better-coached introductions to contact, and create a clear pathway from first steps in flag. The aim is to develop confident tackle players ready for middle school, high school, and beyond.
