Hello,
Next Level Generations Flag Football Program Overview
Next Level Generations has established a partnership with the East Lake YMCA, the NFL, and the Atlanta Falcons to offer a free flag football program aimed at youth development and engagement in sports. This initiative is designed to provide children with an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of football in a fun and supportive environment.
Program Details
Season Start: The flag football season will commence in September, with practices beginning in the first week of September or as soon as full teams are registered.
Practice Schedule: Each team will practice weekly for a minimum of one day per week, with sessions lasting up to one hour. This structure ensures that participants can develop their skills while balancing other commitments.
Game Schedule: Games will take place on Saturdays at Price Middle School, providing an accessible location for families and participants.
Equipment Provided: All registered participants will receive essential gear including:
Football cleats
A game jersey
A mouth guard
This equipment is crucial for ensuring that players are properly outfitted for both safety and performance during practices and games.
Registration Information
Participant Limit: Registration is limited to the first 12 players per age group. This cap helps maintain manageable team sizes, allowing for more individualized attention from coaches and better overall team dynamics.
Age Groups: The program is divided into four distinct age groups:
8U (Under 8 years old)
10U (Under 10 years old)
12U (Under 12 years old)
14U (Under 14 years old)
This categorization allows children to compete against peers of similar ages, fostering a more equitable playing field.
Team Name Suggestions
While “B Blazers” and “Flag Pullers” are creative suggestions, here are some additional name ideas that could resonate well within the context of flag football:
Falcon Flyers
Gridiron Gladiators
Touchdown Titans
End Zone Eagles
Victory Vipers
These names reflect themes of speed, agility, and competitiveness associated with flag football while also incorporating elements related to the partnering organizations like the Atlanta Falcons.
Coaching Requirements
To ensure a high-quality experience for all participants, coaches are needed for each age group. The requirements include:
Background Check: All prospective coaches must pass a background check to ensure the safety and well-being of all children involved in the program.
Commitment: Coaches must be dedicated to attending practice once a week and being available for games on Saturdays. This commitment is vital for building team cohesion and providing consistent training for young athletes.
By recruiting dedicated coaches who meet these criteria, Next Level Generations aims to create a positive environment where young players can thrive both on and off the field.
