Things TO KNOW - BEACHES flag football league

Flag football is an introductory developmental sport, designed to teach young student-athletes the fundamentals of football, as well as sportsmanship and team dynamics. For many, this program marks their first exposure to football, offering a progressive learning experience structured to progressively build upon foundational skills over a 6-week period.

SKILLS AND DRILLS
  • In our ongoing effort to grow the sport and enhance the quality of play, we provide Skills and Drills Sessions on Wednesdays from 6:00 to 7:00 PM for those interested. These sessions will focus on elevating key fundamentals—throwing, catching, defense, and route running—the finer details of which coaches may not have time to cover during the 30-minute Sunday practices. While these sessions are completely optional, they provide an additional opportunity for development, courtesy of Texas 7's.
