I’ve had a great experience with flagstar!
We’ll run and great coach retention (they are nice to their employees).
Plus my kid really liked the jerseys. 🤪

I've heard good things about the Koa program but DS lost interest in football and does soccer year round now.

OP here--this was exactly our experience with kidball too. lack of instruction, parent coach was terrible, parents were yelling at each other. My son got shoved and basically tackled more than once out there. I tried to get my money back from them at the time and they refused. We also play soccer but he loves everything about football and would really like to give FF a try but in an environment that will both instruct and then scrimmage. Kind of like MSI but for FF.

Keep hearing good things about Flagstar and my 3rd grader is really interested in joining a league. Any good recs? Trying to decide between Flagstar, Koa, I9 and want to make sure it's well organized and he's not placed with older kids. We tried it in 1st grade through kidball and he was placed on a team w/3rd and 4th graders that had already been playing for awhile and he was completely lost so we want to avoid that again. Plus, now he loves watching and learning about football so he understands the game more and is way more invested in this than he was in 1st. Ty!
