As a reminder, Little Gridders, our 1st and 2nd grade Flag Football program is run as a camp style with an emphasis on skills and drills to build a strong foundational understanding of the game. These take place on Saturdays, 9/12, 9/19, 9/26, and 10/10 in the North Endzone at 9:00. All participants need is a water bottle and a smile!
