Future Olympic Flag Footballer

My Project

We are a small, rural school district with approximately 45-50 students in each 7th and 8th grade. Because we have all 7th grade, or 8th grade in an entire PE class, we take advantage of a lot of team sports/activities to focus on not only the students' physical fitness, but also their social health.

With flag football being a future Olympic sport, help me bring that experience and enthusiasm to my Junior High students.

While touch football can be played in class, sets of belts would allow my students to experience the "real thing" while also providing students the challenge of flag football versus one/two-hand touch football.
