NFL FLAG-In-School

A turnkey approach to help America’s Physical Education teachers build a foundation of healthy, lifelong physical activity for their students.  

 

To support high quality physical education and grow opportunities for students to be active before, during and after school, GENYOUth developed NFL FLAG-In-School: a turnkey approach to help America’s Physical Education teachers build a foundation of healthy, lifelong physical activity for their students.  

Since 2014, over 37,000 NFL FLAG-In-School kits have helped 16M students get active. 

This program is made possible thanks to the unwavering commitment of the NFL, NFL Foundation and other leaders in the physical activity space with the shared goal of providing ALL students the opportunity to “Play 60” while introducing them to the fast-paced fun of NFL FLAG.
