Castle Pines Athletics hosts NFL flag football each spring and fall, and hundreds of local boys and girls participate each season. “While there are certainly several other area NFL programs in Douglas County to choose from, Castle Pines Athletics is unique because our children are part of this community,” said Lane Roberts, program director. “They play with neighbors, friends and even classmates. It is a great way to build community and form life-long Castle Pines friendships each season.”
Registration for the spring season opens January 1. Teams fill quickly, so early registration is recommended. To register or to learn more about local programs offered in Castle Pines, visit www.castlepinesathletics.com.
