LINCOLN 

The Lincoln Area YMCA is now offering a NEW and IMPROVED flag football league!

We understand that parents are concerned about the physical contact of football and may want their child to wait to start playing the sport.

With this flag football league your child can learn the game football, while not enduring the heat, weight, and hitting of wearing tackle football pads.
In our flag football league your child will learn the basic rules and fundamentals of football, without the physical contact of tackle football.

Whether you’re new to the game or just started playing, this league is a perfect introduction to the game!

The YMCA Flag Football League can also be a head start before the tackle season! Get your hands on the ball a month before everyone else and fine tune your skills!

The league fee is $35, and you must be a YMCA member. Memberships cost $37 and run the calendar year.
