Description
The Developmental Girls Flag Football League is designed to provide opportunities for girls (Grades 3rd-6th) to connect with others, build meaningful relationships, enhance their personal development, leadership skills, athletic ability in a structured atmosphere. The mission of the Developmental Girls Flag Football League is to create a sports culture that prioritizes the health and well being of athletes-enhancing their enjoyment, participation, and development in the sport of flag football. Playing multiple sports helps kids make new friends and develop new skills.
The Champions Sports Academy encourages sports sampling which provides a young athlete the chance to find a sport that may ultimately fit her best. There are several demonstrated benefits of sports sampling:
- Prolonged engagement in sports
- More enjoyable and positive early sports experiences
- Healthy physical, psychological, and social development
- Transfer of skills acquired from multiple sports to primary sport if specialization occurs
To date, youth sports lack guidelines around health and wellness and consistent game play standards, the Developmental Girls Flag Football League has developed a set of rules and standards to enhance the playing experience for athletes. These guidelines aim to combat the overemphasis on early competitive success and the lack of a clear development pathway through sports – two issues that exist across youth sports. We believe that sports, when used properly by compassionate professionals can transform a person’s life for the good.
