The Las Vegas Raiders have joined forces with the Clark County School District to launch an innovative youth flag football program designed to broaden access to the sport throughout the region. This partnership aims to promote physical fitness,teamwork,and skill development among young athletes,while prioritizing safety and inclusivity. By leveraging the Raiders’ expertise and community resources alongside the school district’s extensive network, the initiative aspires to cultivate a vibrant football culture among elementary and middle school students in Southern Nevada.

This collaborative effort introduces a structured flag football curriculum tailored for students in grades 3 through 8. Unlike traditional tackle football, flag football offers a safer alternative that reduces physical contact, making it ideal for younger players. The program is supported by Raiders coaches and trained volunteers who provide expert instruction, ensuring participants develop basic skills in a fun and secure habitat.

Program highlights include:

• Provision of complimentary jerseys and equipment to all participants
• Weekly coaching clinics led by Raiders staff and athletes
• School-based flag football leagues fostering friendly competition
• Workshops focused on sportsmanship, nutrition, and healthy lifestyles
