BAA Flag Football Program Overview

The Bloomington Athletic Association delivers fun, affordable, and safe youth sports experiences fueled by our passionate volunteers. In flag football, the players will learn about Body Mechanics and the basic plays of football. The players are proven to understand the football game better when they start in the flag football programs. There is less fear among kids who get to know and love the football game. With fewer restrictions due to the full football gear, the kids can focus more on learning how to play the game, and they can see what is going on around them during the game, therefore learning more about football. Staring with flag football helps strengthen the foundational skills of football, building players with a better understanding of the game when they transition to the tackle football program.

Volunteers

Our flag football program requires volunteers as coaches, assistant coaches, scorekeepers, and officiating. Register as a coach online today!

COACHING: BAA needs coaches! If you are a new coach or need help, BAA Flag Football has resources to ensure you are comfortable leading your team. Practice plans and strategies will be provided. Coaching youth sports is an excellent way to give back to your community, build your network, and strengthen your leadership skills. Please indicate that you will coach in your child’s registration; we must have two coaches per team! Coaches clinics in late July/early August.
