Spring has sprung, which means youth flag football, soccer, softball and baseball are in full swing.
And we at SILive.com know how big those sports are on Staten Island.
As a result, our photographers will be out each weekend at various leagues in all three sports to catch all the hits, passes and goals.
It all started Saturday (today, April 8, 2023) when freelance photographer Kara Buzga visited St. Peter’s to take photos of three games in the Next Level Flag Football League, which opened its season two weeks ago.
Next Level is home to thousands of boys and girls and adults, who play games for most of the calendar year.
