Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The South Shore YMCA filled a gap last fall when it
introduced flag football to its line-up of program offerings for children. The
Bavis Arena in Rockland had previously hosted a flag football league that went
by the wayside after Bavis iced-over their one turf field and created another
hockey rink. Lots of Hanover kids had a blast playing NFL flag football
at the Y last fall!
I am pleased to bring you the following information about
this spring’s flag football season at the Y, as follows:
Registration is now open for the South Shore
YMCA spring season of NFL flag football. NFL FLAG is the premier youth
football league for boys and girls ages 9-14. The program provides young
players a fun and exciting opportunity to engage in non-contact continuous
action while learning lessons in teamwork. There will be two age brackets: 9-11
& 12-14, and teams will include both boys & girls. Teams consist
of 10 players. Practices are once a week (days and times to be announced)
and players will play a six game schedule. There will also be optional opportunities
for exhibition games against outside groups. Regular season games will be
played on Friday or Saturday afternoons, and the season begins Saturday, March
14, 2009. All regular season games & practices will be held at the
South Shore YMCA outdoor field. Teams are coached by parent volunteers.
All
players will receive an NFL team identified jersey and NFL flag belt. Cost
is $80 for full YMCA members and $110 for non-members.
To register, please go to http://www .atotw.com/files/PlayerRegistrationForm.doc

75 Mill Street in Hanover, attention: Linda Montoya. Once your child is or
your children are registered with the Y, an additional NFL Flag registration
link will be sent to you.
