About project - Play Flag

Flag football is a young sport based on American football principles but represents its non-contact version. Its a sport for people of all ages, gender, backgrounds and abilities and is an ideal sport for mixed gender teams. Flag football provides a right fit to be a tool to deliver the educational potential of sport, to fight against obesity and diseases and to promote and spread European values among young people. However, flag football is not very popular and known among public.

Therefore project aims to motivate children to play sports. Together with the partners from Slovakia, Czechia and Slovenia we are organizing many events, matches at schools and tournaments.

Thanks to the positive feedback from students and teachers, we would like continue to promote Flag Football and organize more school events in the near future. Together with our partners from the Czechia and Slovenia, we are prepared to promote active and healthy lifestyle among through flag football.

Thank you for the great opportunity to involve students in the competition, at this time when movement in the school environment is limited. Ensuring the entire course from the organization to the actual implementation was managed excellently. The Coach Team was helpful to us and the students really enjoyed it. Thanks again.

The competition that the organization had planned was at a good level from the very beginning, as all the necessary questions were answered, I did not notice any problem.
