Flag Football
What is Compass Flag Football
Flag Football is a sport under the Jefferson County (Jeffco) Middle School Sports Program (MSSP). 2024 will be our inaugural season and we couldn't be more excited!
According to the National Football League (NFL), "The foundation of youth sports is more than just the fundamentals. It’s about being a part of team and, most importantly, having fun." At Compass, the spirit behind this sport perfectly aligns with our Mission and Vision within our Athletics department! The game itself comes with both physical and emotional challenges for youth. The National Flag Football Association outlines 5 benefits to the sport: 1) Health, Teamwork, Discipline, Mental Toughness, and Socialization. Each of these benefits help round out a child with many qualitative elements.
Jeffco MSSP Flag Football is non-contact sport played 8 v 8 with other Jeffco middle schools. If this sports intrigues you or your child, read more below and register for the Fall season!
***REGISTRATION AND FORMS***
1.) You need to REGISTER to participate ONCE REGISTRATION OPENS.
