Flag Football

Flag Football is a fast-paced, non-contact version of football that focuses on developing core skills like passing, catching, teamwork, and strategy — all in a fun and safe environment. Over the past decade, it’s become one of the fastest-growing youth sports worldwide, and the momentum continues to build here in Burlington!

2026 will be the inaugural season of our Burlington NFL Flag Football Season and we could not be more excited! We are proudly serving boys and girls ages 5–16, in both recreational or competitive leagues. Our league has partnered with NFL Flag Football, bringing exciting opportunities and national exposure to our athletes.
