American Football

Known as the most-watched sport in North America, football is highly strategic and requires a good level of athleticism. Quick passing, jumping, throwing and sprinting will help you get the most out of a game and showcase your athletic capabilities. Football is a brain game of strategic plays and quick on-field decisions. These spectacular athletic displays are what makes the game so popular to play and watch.

There are contact and non-contact kids leagues and young adult leagues for all skill levels, as well as non-contact amateur leagues. You will often find groups throwing the ball around or playing “touch” in parks.
