Nfl Flag La

The league has great competition and its very organized! The only knock is practicing an hour before the games, but that’s only bc its so bright and hot at the field! I love the professional pictures they post on FB and the staff is very friendly! We enjoyed our experience and look forward to playing again!

Great league, very organized, nice playing fields, lot’s of fun for the kids

To expensive. This is a Billion Dollar business and it cost more than AYSO. The NFL should be ashamed of its Tax Exempt self.

Great league for beginners. The coaches really care about the kiddos learning the basics & having a great time. Very informative emails & website.
Really great fields in Playa Vista.

NFL Flag LA is a well run organization where kids get to enjoy the game of football without contact. Tony is extremely organized and covers all basis.

«Don’t come back». Those were the words of NFL Flag LA commissioner Tony Son, to me, the father of a 9-​year-​old boy in the Junior division of this league: «Don’t come back». I didn’t berate the refs, and I wasn’t that parent who gets out of control during a game. I simply asked the commissioner, Tony, why a pass interference call was made during our playoff game, and I asked what he was going to do to prevent kids from getting injured because of certain rules, and Tony got heated and he told me «Don’t come back». Is this what you want to hear from the commissioner of your league? Of course not.
Our family has been in this league for 5 consecutive seasons, and this was the first time I spoke with the commissioner. He chose to respond by telling a parent that they can just leave if they don’t like it. Is that the kind of league you want to invest your weekends in? Of course not.
The league is dominated by the refs. Another Unilocaler here posted a similar comment regarding the refs trying to make themselves bigger than the game. Several parents I know (not just on our team) have complained that the refs throw flags on any big play. Case in point, in a Pee-​Wee division playoff game — not even our division, so I had no rooting interest — a little kid broke away for a long TD run, only to have it called back on a «blocking» call because his teammates were running down the field with him. I saw the whole play, and none of the kids could be considered doing anything but having fun running alongside their teammate celebrating the moment. One of these little kids, probably 6 years old, yelled in anguish as he ran back to the other side of the field. Is this the kind of anguish you want your kids to go through almost every time they make a brilliant play? Of course not.
Our team was called for pass interference on a ball thrown high into the air which resulted in an interception. That type of play in the NFL would be a non-​call because both players were going for the ball. The last interception of this year’s Super Bowl would have been ruled pass interference if these Flag refs were officiating. But this is exactly the type of erroneous call that has been made repeatedly in each of our son’s 5 seasons in this league.
More importantly, the likelihood of a child getting seriously injured is a real possibility because of the rules and the interpretation by the officials. The strategy of some teams is to not pull flags, but to stand in the way of a runner in hopes of getting a blocking call. Another parent confronted the commissioner about it, only for it to fall on deaf ears. I also asked the commissioner about it, and that’s when things got heated and he raised his voice to tell me «Don’t come back.»
If a parent can’t ask the commissioner to look into these things, then the parents have no voice in the league. Tony or the NFL Flag LA league will try to paint this review in a negative light, but as commissioner you can’t get yourself into an argument with parents. And you certainly can NOT say «Don’t come back». Parents and fans will always get passionate and emotionally invested in their teams fortunes. The commissioner should be above that, but clearly it doesn’t take much for Tony to get argumentative and tell a parent off. It’s unfortunate because the kids and the parents are great.
«Don’t come back» is Tony’s advice. And after 5 seasons, we won’t be coming back. I highly suggest that anyone interested in this league to look at this and ask yourself: Is this the kind of league you want to be a part of?

This will be my sons 3^rd season with NFL Flag… What a great team to build skills and learn the game! Coaches are exceptional and the whole family loves to watch and get involved!!! League is so organized and does a great job of teaching kids to love the game!

Really impressed with the level of communication and professionalism! Requests for our kids to play on teams with their friends were facilitated without any hassle — really looking forward to the season!

this is great for kids to try flag football. it’s a good experience for the kids. Tony and the staff are professional and runs a great league.

This is our first time playing here and my son loves it! It’s very well organized and the kids seem to have a great time.

We have signed up for three seasons of NFL Flag LA now and we are so happy every single season. It is organized and Tony is hands on and professional. We play in Playa Vista and the field is always set up ready to practice and play on Saturdays. I highly recommend the program. It is worth every penny! My children love it!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience so far! They make it so easy for parents. Practice is before the game and games and practice are the same time every Sunday. As a parent what more could you ask for? The communication from Tony and our coach is also amazing! The field is great and everyone is there for the kids. It’s been a great experience so far and something we all look forward to every Sunday. We will definitely be signing up for next season!

This is our second year doing NFL Flag and we love it. It’s very well organized and the coaches are awesome. Tony runs a great program!

I can’t say anything bad about this league. It’s very organized, the fields is nice, the refs are great in terms of stopping play to explain what happened, the coaches are patient and the kids are having fun! As a parent I worry about some adults taking it too serious and no one is like that here. I also like that it’s 6 on 6 so the kids really get learn the basics of the game. I highly recommend this league. Go PeeWee Jets!

Incredibly great league for kids of all ages to hone their skills in a safe, fun, friendly environment.

Great league for kids to learn introduction to football.
League is run well. Its not a huge time commitment.
1 hour practice, then 1 hour game, each weekend for 7 – 8 weeks.
Suggest it to all kids and parents.

NFL Flag LA is an awesome league for boys & girls. Tony and all of his staff are extremely hands on, helpful, informative and organized!
Great learning experience for first time kids trying a new sport and also great experience for kids who have already played but want to improve in football.
Everyone involved with this league is positive and friendly and my son loved the cool jerseys they get to wear. They play at a beautiful park in Playa Vista where siblings can enjoy the park area while you get to watch the game at the same time which personally is a big plus when you have multiple children but only 1 set of eyes.
I highly recommend this league to anyone with children. They show a high level of professionalism and at the same time a very personable approach with all the parents and kids.
Thank you NFL Flag LA!
From the Gokey Family :)

So this is my 2^nd season with NFL Flag LA and I have to say I thoroughly enjoy my experience with this league. It starts with the folks running NFL Flag LA, all the way through to the kids that compete and participate each week. I love the fact that we practice an hour before each game. Giving the kids the opportunity to take what was taught to them, moments ago in practice, and immediately transfer it to the field for game time situations. Bravo for that concept! I appreciate the FB interface with the photos each week of every game. Excellent scouting tool if you happen to be a coach in the league. And i can honestly share with you that I look forward to the games each week. The families are friendly, the atmosphere is fun and it’s a great time and encounter for all.

I wanted to give it 5 stars but I original post was sent to filter land. Whatever that means.

NFL Flag Los Angeles is proud to offer parents a youth flag football league, open to boys and girls ages 4 — 12. Commissioner Tony Son and his incredible staff have worked together to create a summer enrichment sports program for children that emphasizes joy and rigor.
Having a background in Elementary Education as a Teacher, Director of Operations, Ms. Julie Han has worked together with Commissioner Son to provide extra enrichment and personal attention to help close the achievement gap and foster higher quality learning.
With their passion for football, education and children, they work unconditionally to help the brilliance within children shine through by teaching children: teamwork, proper sportsmanship and build self-​confidence. They use the best practices in education to ensure program safety and that children are getting the best possible chance to learn efficiently and effectively.
With the guidance of prominent experts in the field, Commissioner Son and his staff understand program development and emphasize meaningful experiences that empower learning and growth for children.

I don’t like to give 5 stars very often because I’m afraid people will have authenticity doubts, however, 4 just was not enough for these guys!
I have NEVER been a sports mom, in fact, this is the very first sport that I’ve allowed my son to sign up for, figuring he’s 7 now and I can’t fight it anymore. However, we’ve had such a good time, the entire family (and several friends) get so excited every weekend about going to my son’s game. And he is beyond proud and having the best time. So now, I’m sports mom crazy! :-)
The organization’s staff are so nice and helpful, it’s a friendly yet professionally run environment. And we’ve been delighted with the coach/​dad who volunteered for our team, which is the same I’ve heard from other teams as well.
I’ve already signed up my son for the summer season and I see us being constant regulars on the field here for years to come.
Love it!!!
