Revere League Champions

Revere played their first ever season of flag football this past spring on the great turf fields behind the high school, Revere was a last minute addition to the league and turned out to be a great one. Even though it was a first time league the coaches and kids both picked up the rules and idea of NFL Flag very quickly and had a great time playing week in week out, win or lose.

The league began with 8 teams which is a perfect amount to start off with, it allowed all the players and coaches to be involved as much as possible and get the most out of the program without being too competitive. In the 5-8 division the season had a shaky start due prior commitments by the players and parents, however the kids still played and week after week the teams became more established and stable. By the end of the season the Chiefs were undefeated and faced the Jaguars in the Championship game, the Chiefs kept up their winning ways and won the first ever NFL flag football Championship in Revere.

In the older 9-12 division 4 solid teams came to play every week, many of the kids that signed up had never played flag before so it took a few weeks to get used to the rules. As the season progressed so did the teams which made for some exciting games. During the season it was the Lions that went undefeated only being challenged by the Texans. The play-offs were a roller coaster ride as both the underdog Ravens and Packers nearly caused huge upsets but both teams lost by one TD right at the end of the games. In the Superbowl the Texans got out to an early lead which put the Lions under pressure as they had not trailed in a game the entire season. The Lions could not find their way back and the Texans who only won one game during the regular season won the Championship.

Re-live the season through the photos and movies that are posted from each week of play.
