The M2 Sports Flag Football program is dedicated to fostering the growth and development of young athletes between the ages of Pre-K and 8th grade. Our program emphasizes the importance of non-contact 7 on 7 flag football, with no weight restrictions, to ensure that all participants have the opportunity to participate safely and fairly.
We strive to provide a community-based league that offers all athletes the opportunity to be a part of a youth sports program that emphasizes the importance of competition, hard work, and having fun in sports. Our coaches are committed to teaching the fundamentals and discipline of organized practice and basic football strategies that will help to build football IQ and an overall understanding of the game.
Most importantly, our program is designed to be enjoyable for all participants. We want everyone to have fun and to play with their neighborhood friends. By providing a safe and fun environment, we hope to inspire a lifelong love of sports and physical activity in our athletes.
