Spring NFL Flag Football 2024

Youth NFL Flag Football

In Spring 2024, the Pennridge Greenjackets are delighted to present our 3rd season of Youth NFL Flag Football. Youth NFL Flag Football is the official flag football program of by the NFL and is for boys and girls aged 4-13. Youth NFL Flag Football offers an opportunity for children to enjoy playing the game, all while learning valuable lessons such as sportsmanship, teamwork, discipline, and commitment. This season, we're introducing a Challengers league, welcoming individuals with physical or intellectual challenges to participate.

Distinguishing itself from our fall program, this flag football initiative eliminates the need for travel, with all games taking place at our field in Perkasie. Each team is designated with actual NFL team names, and every player receives a reversible jersey adorned with the team logo. Join us for a season of fun, growth, and camaraderie!
