Parent Huddle

Parent Huddle

We understand the demands of being a parent of a young athlete. We structure our program to support not only the athletes, but their parents, too.

As THE premium flag football league on Long Island, we provide:

  • Better Gameplay (with fair competition)

  • Better Fields (played at the beautiful Hofstra University)

  • Better Player Experience (teachable moments)

  • Better Safety (AEDs and trained staff onsite)

  • Better Referees (experienced - and 2 per game for 8U+)

  • Better Customer Service (text, call, email - we answer!)

  • Better Communication (proactive & thoughtful)

  • Better Scheduling (fixed and released before week 1)

  • Better Jerseys (beautiful & premium)
