Morrison Parks and Recreation will be partnering again with High School Football Coach, Nathan Vandermyde, in structuring this year’s program. We are very excited to introduce our youngest athletes to the fundamentals of football with the help of Coach Vandermyde and the Morrison Mustang varsity players.

Flag football will run for 5 weeks meeting on Tuesday and Thursday nights at the Morrison Sports Complex football field. Each age group will meet at the following times:

6:00 pm -- 1st/2nd grades

7:00 pm -- 3rd/4th/5th grades

TUESDAY WILL BE HS FOOTBALL COACH VANDERMYDE AND HIS HS PLAYERS RUNNING THE PROGRAM OR VICE VERSA.

THURSDAY WILL BE HS FOOTBALL COACH VANDERMYDE AND VOLUNTEER COACHES WILL BE NEEDED!!!!

Volunteer assistance is still needed from parents! We will have some varsity football players on-hand each night, but if you are interested in assisting with practices/games, please indicate so on the registration form below. This is the first introduction to the sport of football for many of our players, so extra support on the field is always welcomed!

All players will receive a t-shirt and mouth guard. Football cleats are recommended for each player, but not required.
