We’re Officially Affiliated with NFL FLAG

 

JG Flag Football & Cheer is proud to be an official NFL FLAG program. NFL FLAG is the premier flag football organization in the United States, offering young athletes a safe, accessible way to learn the game while building skills like teamwork, coordination, confidence, and strategy — all without the high-contact risks of tackle football.

​

Many well-known athletes began their football journey in low-contact formats like flag, learning the fundamentals that serve players well both on and off the field.

​

For families, NFL FLAG provides a trusted structure and consistent standards. At JGFFC, we pair that framework with our own emphasis on development, sportsmanship, and safety — giving kids a positive place to grow, compete, and enjoy the game they love.
