LHYSL provides a fun, non-contact, developmental Coed Flag Football experience for boys and girls, Pre-K to grade 6 kids. We will teach fundamentals, conditioning, discipline, sportsmanship, and teamwork as it pertains to Coed non-contact flag football in a fun atmosphere.
This camp/clinic will concentrate on passing, running, receiving, route running, and defensive coverage.
This camp serves as great stepping stone for kids that are interested in tackle football or help skills for the kids who already compete in tackle football.
The camp/clinic is usually held in the spring (March – April – May) at Craig Field (behind Central Intermediate).
Each participant will be supplied a team shirt (which they keep) and flags.
Each participant is expected to bring with them a mouthpiece/guard, Black shorts w/o pockets, Cleats (football or soccer) NO Baseball Cleats, and water for hydration.
