Voices from the Field: The Impact of NFL Flag Football
This season was by FAR an improvement over any previous seasons of flag football and the efforts put in to make this league run smoothly did not go unnoticed! Additionally, this has been one of the best run sports we have EVER had through the YMCA and has completely changed our opinion of Y sports in general. In previous years, our family had done soccer and basketball through the Y and had very negative experiences, so much so that we did not register with them again. But the way this league has been executed has given me hope that Y Sports is back to being managed the way they need to be. Great work!
