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 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.
