Flex Football I am a boy mom. There is no other way to describe it. My husband and I have 5 sons to be exact. Our oldest Jaden loves to write, our second son Charlee loves sports and building or creating things independently, our third Cobee has loved dinosaurs for 4 years now, our fourth, Kynee, is a very calm kid, and last but not least is LaVon who loves to torture his older brothers, and I love every bit of it! So, you can only imagine the things that arise in our home: fun! by Hope George
My husband, Lamont, is the Head Basketball Coach for Crossover Prep Academy, where he is also an Academic Coach. We’ve been with Crossover for 2 years and being a part of Crossover makes us happy to

be included and accepted. We have been through so much as a family, and Crossover doesn’t judge us or make us feel like we or our contributions are not important. Not only that, but Crossover gives us the opportunity to be engaged in sports or activities that we would not have a chance to be involved in otherwise.
My son, Charlee, has always wanted to play football, but I was nervous about the idea of tackle football because he is so young. I learned from a close friend that Crossover Sports Association was going to entertain being a part of the Flex Football League that was starting in Tulsa. When I told Charlee, he was super excited, and he was the one

to ensure that we were ready for Flex Football and the first practice even. Turns out he’s actually really good at this sport!
Flex football is a game changer. We can allow our children to experience fun, friends and be “all boy” without concern of the possibility of severe sports injuries namely head injuries. Charlee reminds me that with Flex Football “they (parents) need to know their kids will be safe.” I’m so thankful Crossover has created this developmental opportunity for our growing athletes!

allows the kids to learn the fundamentals of football without the danger of physical harm.
I don’t know who enjoys Flex Football more, the parents or the kids! When the boys won their first game, we were all so excited! To win 7-0 was absolutely incredible for us to witness, and we celebrated greatly in the stands! The boys have built such a strong team that they want to be together beyond this year, and it would be great if they stayed together all the way through 12th grade as students of Crossover Prep!
