Jr Lancer Padded Flag

Jr. Lancer Padded Flag

All players are welcome, regardless of participation at the flag level. This level is for athletes in grades 4 & 5. Teams will consist of between 8 to 10 players constructed by the coaches. The coaching staff will be comprised of parent volunteers supported by the Jr Lancer Board of Directors and Joel Nellis, head varsity football coach at BC. All coaches will complete a background check and training from both USA Football and the BCHS coaching staff.

The goals of the padded flag level are to learn multiple positions for both offense and defense, deepen knowledge of Lancer terminology and further develop position skills and techniques. Proper blocking techniques are added in at this level and used during games. In addition, players will learn proper tackling techniques on pads and tackling wheels at practices. Players will become accustomed to wearing and playing with helmets and shoulder pads without the element of intentional contact being a part of games and practices. Our primary goal is for players to have fun in a controlled and safe environment and prepare them for tackle football at the next level.
