Planning local trips and beyond. Let me help craft your next experience. Designed to save you time and money.
One of the Y’s most popular programs is youth flag football, which has been locally operated in the Gallatin Valley for more than 10 years. Youth flag football is a coed league offered during spring and fall, serving more than 500 kids in grades kindergarten through fifth. This is an NFLFlag Partnered program, which provides access to top-quality gear, including NFL flag jerseys resembling real NFL team jerseys, that participating kids get to keep even after the season is finished. A flag football rookies’ clinic for kids ages 3 to 5 is also available. This clinic begins teaching the fundamentals of flag football and socialization. Many kids in the community start in the rookies’ program and go on to play together from kindergarten through fifth grade on the same team with the same coach, growing up together and building a strong bond through the YMCA. The Gallatin Valley YMCA’s youth flag football program also creates a bond between parents on the sidelines, volunteer coaches, sponsors that help support the league and, of course, the teams that learn play, and grow together. The hope is to continue to grow the program to offer it to even more people in the Gallatin Valley. Join the Y this spring for yet another amazing, fun-filled flag football season where your child will grow physically, socially and emotionally. Early registration for the fall season opens this month.
