General Touchdown for Tots Information

Join the largest youth flag football organization in the country! This is an excellent program before making the jump into our recreational league. There are no try-outs and everyone participates!  

The Touchdown for Tots program is only available for children in Pre-Kindergarten and Young 5's (ages 4-5). We recommend all first-year players that are ages 4 & 5 choose this option instead of the regular league. 

Only 1 hour on Sunday mornings for 6 weeks.

Designed for beginners ages 4 and 5 to learn basic football fundamentals.

Each week consists of warm-ups, small drills, and fun mini-games.

Athletes learn important aspects of football including positions, handoffs, catching, and more.

Practicing new traits each week to ensure kids stay engaged.

The program will be instructed by volunteer coaches

The biggest difference between the regular program and the Touchdown for Tots program is that the Tots program does not play games. This program is for learning the fundamentals of the game and character trait building. It is perfect for young players, especially beginners. 

On the last weekend of the season, coaches are welcome to get with other Tots coaches to set up a scrimmage with other Tots teams. This will give the players a chance to put what they’ve learned into action on the field!

The guide has our How to Be a Good Sport Character Trait program. This aspect of the program teaches players how to be good sports both on and off the field. Each week there will be a new character trait to focus on. These traits will lead up to the last week of the program and this is where the Sportsmanship trait will be discussed. The goal is to use each trait to build a well-rounded ‘good sport’ who do things like help to set up, encourage teammates, and follow rules. 

Week 1: Teamwork 

Week 2: Encouragement 

Week 3: Fairness 

Week 4: Helpfulness 

Week 5: Respect 

Week 6: Sportsmanship 

The price for the Tots program depends on each league location. You can find the specific price for the Tots program by going to the “About” tab on the state website and then choosing the “[Season, year] Touchdown for Tots” option. 

Players will receive a t-shirt and a flag belt. Mouth guards do not come with the uniform, but are required to practice. You can purchase them during registration, at our Flag Fan Shop, at the field, or at your local sports store.
