We are Part of the Movement
Girls flag football is a growing industry that provides girls and young women with opportunities to participate in organized sports, build teamwork skills, and improve their physical fitness. In recent years, the popularity of girls flag football has surged, with many schools and community organizations offering programs and leagues.
At Down South football our diverse and experienced group of coaches are able to provide high-quality coaching, training, mentoring and college recruitment opportunities. We pride ourselves in building strong relationships with athletes, and have partnered with local schools and community organizations to provide programs and leagues for girls. Our players aren't just members of a team, they are members of our community. In the off-season, we work with local charities to bring sports and hope to underserved children in our home town. At each game, you get a chance to contribute to these efforts. We believe that sportsmanship doesn't stop at the edge of the field.
