Are you ready for some football?
The calendar may indicate May, but the City’s Parks and Recreation Department is already making plans for this fall’s youth flag football leagues. City Rec officials are encouraging parents to sign up their boys and girls early for this fall’s youth flag football leagues, which are open to first through fourth grade participants.
Registration deadline is August 31 with the season beginning September 11 at the Omaha Street soccer fields. The program offers a six-week league with an end-of-season jamboree.
“We’re making an early push as these leagues can fill up fast,” said Matt Brandhagen of the City Recreation Department. “Football is very popular and the youth flag football leagues are a great way to introduce the game to young participants. Registration can fill up fast so we’re inviting parents to sign up now and it’s one less thing off the checklist as the league includes two divisions consisting of teams of first and second grade players, and third and fourth grade players. The first/second grade divisions play on Monday nights with third and fourth grade teams playing on Tuesday nights.
