Who We Are
The Blitz is a youth flag football club that participates in tournaments throughout the year. We believe in hard work & discipline, we promote teamwork and sportsmanship, and we do so while competing at the highest level. We work hard, we play hard, and we never quit!
We believe that every young athlete that plays with us needs to embody these 3 things:
-
Desire – we show up & we put in the work
-
Sportsmanship – we compete to the end & we’ll do it the right way
-
Leadership – we support our teammates & we lead by example
Teams play 5v5, so rosters are typically only 8-10 players. Tryouts are twice annually, with Fall/Winter season tryouts in August, while Spring/Summer season will tryout in December. See below for more information on our next tryouts, and how your child can become a member of The Blitz!
