Starting in August, your football fan can get the total football experience without the contact. Flag Football is a sport where the emphasis is safety, speed, agility, teamwork, and precision. It is the perfect forum for players who love playing football, are just starting out, or do not want to get into pads just yet. The Community House Flag Football League provides jerseys and flag sets to all players!
