Why Be A Fanatics?

Flag Football Fanatics/Ohio Youth Connection is a non-profit youth organization that prides itself on providing a fun, safe, and positive football atmosphere. The game of football provides unique opportunities for our children to grow both emotionally and physically.

We strongly believe in giving back to the community, and with this mindset, we have become the LARGEST Flag Football organization in the state of Ohio and the 2nd largest in the USA with over 12,000  participants in 2024. Our communication with you (the parents) has also helped us grow tremendously as we make a strong effort to return all phone calls and emails within 48 hours. Your feedback is invaluable; feel free to contact us anytime, and remember that you can always register online.

Now, 15 years later, we are still going strong thanks to those who continue to support our homegrown organization. Our admins, staff, and volunteers are all your neighbors/friends in the local community. THANK YOU for supporting local organizations and contributing to growth right here at home!

We Offer a Fun, Once-In-A-Lifetime Experience to Kids

  • Every child receives an award at the end of the season.
