Spring NFL Flag Football 2023

Youth NFL Flag Football

For Spring 2023, the Pennridge Greenjackets are proud to offer Youth NFL Flag Football, the NFL’s official youth flag football program for boys and girls ages 4-17. Youth NFL Flag Football provides an exciting way for kids to have a blast practicing and playing the game, all while learning valuable lessons in sportsmanship, teamwork, discipline, and commitment.

This flag football program is different than the program we offer in the fall. There is NO travel involved as all games are played at our field in Perkasie. Teams are assigned actual NFL team names and each player is given a reversible jersey with the team logo.
