Program Overview:

At Vail Vikings Youth Football, we offer both Flag Football and Tackle Football programs tailored to different age groups, ensuring a developmentally appropriate and enjoyable experience for all participants.

Flag Football (Ages 6-7):

Our Flag Football teams cater to the youngest members of our community, introducing them to the fundamentals of the game in a fun and non-contact environment. We emphasize skill development, teamwork, and sportsmanship to lay a strong foundation for their future in football.

Tackle Football (Ages 8-13):
