Rapid City recreation officials are already planning for a busy youth flag football season this September.
Registration remains open for this fall’s youth flag football leagues, hosted by the City’s Parks and Recreation Department. The leagues are open to youth in first through fourth grades.
Registration deadline is August 31. The season begins September 11 at the Omaha Street soccer fields. The program offers a six-week league with an end-of-season jamboree.
“We’ve been making an early push as these leagues can fill up fast and the school year will be upon us before we know it,” 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. We’re inviting parents to register now as it’s one less thing to work on as we get closer to the start of school and registrations fill up quickly.”
