Louisiana Flag Football - Details and Information

About the League

Louisiana Flag Football has been the premier flag football program in the South Louisiana area for over 10 years. We have succeeded in providing highly organized game environments with passionate coaches, referees, and league operators.

Mission: Creating opportunities for the youth of our community, one family memory at a time.

Overview: Safe, fun, and supportive youth flag football and cheer programs for ages 5-12, serving over 2,000 kids each year in South Louisiana.

What is Flag Football?

Flag football is a non-contact version of football where players use flags attached to a belt to stop plays rather than tackling. It emphasizes teamwork, skill development, and strategy in a safe and enjoyable environment, making it ideal for children of all ages and skill levels. The game promotes fitness, confidence, and sportsmanship while ensuring fun for everyone involved.

Cheerleading Program

In addition to flag football, Louisiana Flag Football proudly offers a cheerleading program. This program is designed for children ages 4-12 and provides weekly practices and the opportunity to perform at games. It’s a fun and energetic way for participants to build confidence, teamwork, and school spirit while supporting their peers on the field.

  • Additional Comments: "I would like to say THANK YOU for bringing flag football to Pierre Part. We enjoyed the season and are looking forward to another one. It’s nice to have it here in town. My son has been asking to play football but we were not able to due to work and school. With it being here in Pierre Part, we were able to make all games and practices with no problem. We can’t make it out of town after work and school so this is perfect for us."
