Our program develops "skill position players". Many of our participants will go on to start on their middle school, high school, and college teams. - Quarterbacks will learn how to make independent decisions and call plays. In our league, the quarterback does not have the option to run, placing more emphasis on recognizing and reading defenses and passing the football. The throwing windows are smaller, which aid in developing accuracy. A defensive blitz on any potential play help the quarterback develop footwork, mobility, and quick thinking under pressure.- Wide Receivers/ Running Backs learn proper stance and start, hand placement, route terminology, running routes, reading defenses, how to create separation, catching in traffic and running after the catch.- Our defensive players learn Linebacker, Defensive back, Safety, and Pass Rushing skills. Players on defense develop footwork, backpedaling, reading the quarterback, breaking on the ball, and catching interceptions. Players also learn man to man and zone coverage techniques.- We believe kids should play flag football.  Playing non-contact flag football allows players to develop position skills that improve a player’s abilities.- With only 10 players per team and 5 on 5 games, players enjoy increased participation with playing time and touches on the football. Our 30 second play clock creates an up tempo game with many more plays and repetitions.- We offer Fall, Spring, and Summer league seasons.- We sponsor a postseason tournament for our league only. Regional and National Tournaments are often available also through the NFL.- Players can register individually, request to play with friends, or register as a team* (placement with friends or coach is not guaranteed). If you are registering as a team, by policy, NWI Youth Sports reserves the right to add participants to all groups of players or teams that do not come with a complete roster (10 players). Players register for NWI Youth Sports individually online or via paper. By policy, NWI Youth Sports unfortunately does not offer refunds after the start of the season.
