This organization was a great find for my family. They are very hands on and involved in every weekend game! My son wasn't sure about playing tackle football, so we gave flag a try and he loves it.
Kids are having so much fun this season, I love the team William is on. The parents are awesome.
Flag football has been the greatest sports my kids have ever signed up for. Love the coaches, parents have been cool..... It's awesome and watching the kids play is hilarious.
Thanks Goey for another great season!! Zane had an awesome time. Great coaches and great players also. Go Bengals!!!
We have played for 6+ seasons and have been provided the opportunity to play in The Horseshoe at Ohio State, Paul Brown Stadium and Nippert Stadium. These are memories are family will never forget. Thank you FFF
Mason, OH Flag Football is off to another great year! You have a really fine management team in these two. Despite a few normal first day pop ups, the parents I spoke too during the day didn't notice anything other than having a really fun day.
Age is no barrier. It’s a limitation you put on your mind.
You’re never a loser until you quit trying.
Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement.
Do you know what my favorite part of the game is? The opportunity to play.
Good is not good when better is expected.
You were born to be a player. You were meant to be here. This moment is yours.
If you train hard, you’ll not only be hard, you’ll be hard to beat.
Without self-discipline, success is impossible, period.
Make each day your masterpiece.
