Talking 4-7 year olds

Bob Morgan camps are no more from what I understand.

Is there anything else?

Flag football? - YMCA is probably your best bet right now.
quote:

The registration for the youth flag football league will be from July 1st through August 8th.

Registration is over, but you might be able to talk your way in.


Most other leagues have already started practice and games are starting in a few weeks.

I think the only tackle program is the All Star Kids... LINK

We did it a few years, but our last year, the price had gone up a bit and it was overcrowded, to the point some kids would not make it through some of the stations before the whistle.

There was a misprint online, you still have until Aug 18.

Damn, I know Bob passed away a few years ago but I thought the camp was still going on. I loved going to those the summer baseball and basketball camps as a kid.

There's always one. It's just for fun, bro. No 4-7 year old is going to develop bad habits that can't be corrected as he grows.

and it's "tackling"

A new league? Does it have a website? Please share what you've heard. SLFYA doesn't have a team located IN Baton Rouge, just around it. We'll be looking to play tackle next year or the one after.

Well Zachary and central are in east Baton Rouge parish, so I digress.


Let me look the league up I'm talking about. It's been around a few years. I'm jumping to it next year.

No shite. This league is legit. Teams are in surrounding area of BR but starts at 5 yrs old. Good coaching, practice structure, safety, etc.
The age groups are as follows:
A Team (11 & 12 years old)
B Team (9 & 10 years old)
C Team (7 & 8 years old)
D Team (5 & 6 years old)
SLYFA website.
Pville is close when Pville Middle is rebuilt and field is available. But right now still practicing way out in Gonzales
Pville Broncos

C team headcoach? Man I love him. He's a really good motivator of the youngons and speaks x's and o's on their level really well. I just don't like his god damned air horn instead of a whistle.

My kid is B team this year.

eta: you know who I am though, right? You can stay anonymous. Idc
