Exciting news about BYSA 1st & 2nd Grade Non-Padded 7v7 Flag Football

BYSA's 1st and 2nd Grade Non-Padded 7v7 Flag Football is a fun, fast-paced, and safe
introduction to the game of football. Designed specifically for young players, this non-contact
format features seven players per team competing on a smaller field, allowing for more
involvement and easier learning. The focus at this level is on building fundamental football
skills—such as passing, catching, running, and basic defense—while encouraging teamwork,
sportsmanship, and a love for the game. Instead of tackling, players wear flags on their belts,
and the play ends when a defensive player pulls the flag from the ball carrier.
This format ensures a safer and more inclusive experience, making it ideal for beginners and
young athletes. Most importantly, the emphasis is on having fun, learning the game, and
developing confidence on and off the field.
Program Highlights:
●Open to students in 1st and 2nd grade
●Focus on safety, sportsmanship, and skill development
●USA Football Flag Certified Coaches
●Practices/Games will be twice a week
●Great opportunity to learn the game of football for youth in Central Vermont!
Equipment:
All required gear (Flags and Shirt will be provided). Players must bring their own cleats and
mouth guards.
