The Bloomington Athletic Association (BAA) is committed to protecting the health and safety of our sports families and the broader community. We are closely monitoring Bloomington Public Schools BPS and the City of Bloomington for our planning and preparation for COVID-19/Coronavirus and will be following their lead on decisions to cancel activities.

At this time, our baseball season is still on hold. For more information on the Baseball Season click here.

The Softball Board has made the difficult decision to cancel the softball season for 2020. For more information on this decision, refunds and donations click here.

As of 4/21/2020 the City of Bloomington closed Hyland Greens Golf Course for the season. Thus the BAA Golf Camp at Hyland cannot be held, however, we will still have the BAA Golf Camp at Dwan. Look at the Golf page for more details and requirements.

We encourage all volunteers, families, and players to utilize recommended precautions to minimize the risk of spreading the virus. If you have any immediate questions regarding the upcoming season, please feel free to e-mail Stephanie Nicholson at baaonline1954@gmail.com or call at 952.373.1563.

Flag Football

by

2019 Flag Football Program Information.

We try to keep consistency from year to year with the program, but some program changes may be made in 2020.  In 2020 we will be adding 5th and 6th-grade flag football teams.

WHO:

Kindergarten – 4th graders

WHAT: 

Flag Football is an introductory program for kids that enjoy being active and want to learn the fundamentals of playing football. This beginning program will be high energy and the kids will start to learn and love the game of football while having fun.

WHEN:

Flag Football has a season runs August through October with sign-ups in June. All practices and games will be on Saturday mornings and Monday evenings. The general start times will be 9 am Saturday mornings and 6 pm on Monday evenings.

WHERE:

The games are played in Bloomington primarily at Westwood Elementary.

In flag football, the players will learn about Body Mechanics and the basic plays in football. The players are proven to have a better understanding of the game of football when they start in the flag football programs. There is less fear from kids and the kids really get to know and love the game of football. With fewer restrictions due to the full football gear the kids can they can focus more on learning how to play the game and they are able to 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 football program.

COACHING:

This is also an introductory program for parents who would like to coach football. What a great way to spend time with your son or daughter and learn how to be an effective coach. We will be utilizing a lot of collaborative coaching concepts so the coaches will not be thrown out there on their own. So, if you have a desire to coach, please sign up, this is the place to start!

EQUIPMENT:

BAA provides all equipment except for cleats (optional) and a water bottle.

SIGN-UP:

In-Person and Online sign-ups in June. Fee $75. Add $25 for each late registration.
