Official NFL Flag League | Powered by the YMCA

Give your child the ultimate flag football experience with NFL Flag Football at the Siouxland YMCA—open to boys and girls in Kindergarten through 8th grade! As an official NFL Flag program, our league combines the excitement of football with the safety of a non-contact sport, plus all the fun and character-building you expect from the Y.

Every player gets to wear an official NFL team-branded jersey and learn from trained coaches in a supportive environment.
