YMCA - WOW 55 Kids Participating in Flag Football

Posted September 12th, 2008

What can be more fun than watching 55 kids (ages 3-5 and K-1st grade) meeting their new Flag Football coach and beginning to learn the basics of simply having fun while playing flag football?

I watched the boys and girls last night as they began to figure out how to hold the ball and throw it to their partners.  It was WONDERFUL!  Watch them - by next week, they will all be able to throw the ball forward!

I collaborated with Community Service on our Flag Football program this year. We have the younger age groups and they are tackling (forgive the pun) the older age groups. I planned for our program to be at the same park and to begin and end on the same days. I was looking to make it as easy as possible for parents. Our costs are even the same UNLESS you happen to have a new YMCA membership - then the cost is 70% reduced!

For more information about YMCA programs and to learn more about our new Health & Wellness Center (for adult fitness) - check out our website (www.northfieldymca.org) or give us a call at 507-645-0088.
