NFL Youth Football
programs help children
and their families enjoy the football experience every time they step on a field. Our programs are also a resource for coaches, helping them promote a positive experience for all participants.
NFL FLAG is the premier youth football league for boys and girls ages 6-14. The program provides young players a fun and exciting opportunity to engage in non-contact, continuous action while learning lessons in teamwork. Launched in 1996, the FLAG Football program is designed to educate young people about football while emphasizing participation and sportsmanship. Players learn skills and lessons that help them succeed both on and off the field.
The NFL Pepsi PUNT, PASS & KICK
program is a national skills competition for boys and girls between the ages of 8 -15 to
compete separately against their peers. Established in 1961, the PP&K program is the oldest NFL Youth Football program.
Girls and boys in four separate age divisions (8-9, 10-11, 12-13, and 14-15) compete against each other in punting, passing and place kicking in a fun and engaging forum. The PP&K program is free - both to organizers who host a local competition and to every youngster who wants to participate!
Developed to provide a template for high school football programs, as well as additional access to youth tackle football, the Junior Player Development program provides step-by-step instruction for every team position to boys between the ages of 12 and 14 in a fun and engaging environment. The program integrates on-field skills development with life skills and character development. As they plan for future high school interscholastic activities, participants receive instruction from NFL-selected high school coaches, as well as counseling that focuses around a weekly life skill.
The NFL High School Player
Development helps high school students in communities-in-need tackle the challenge of getting to college. Preparing for higher education isn't always easy. HSPD is committed to helping students achieve that goal both on and off the field. Our team of mentors, led by Pat Kirwan, provides additional guidance by answering questions relating to football, school and other life issues.
