Take Part In A Competitive Flag Football League At Proehlific Park!
Flag Football is a great introduction or alternative to a full-contact sport. Our teams are also a direct result of the desire of the Carolina Panthers Professional Football Organization partnering with The City of Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department, The Arc of Greensboro, and Proehlific Park to come together and provide league dedicated to football and cheerleading for youth, teens, and young adults with disabilities. Organized sports leagues are an opportunity that we're all dedicated to providing for EVERY member of our community!
Proehlific Offers Flag Football Leagues in Fall and Spring
There are 8 guaranteed games: 7 regular season games with 1 playoff game and our playoffs are single elimination. We also take the time to make player evaluations prior to forming teams to ensure there is a competitive balance between teams in the tournament, but teammate requests are always considered!
Our season begins with evaluations in late August followed with practices and games starting in late August and early September. The season wraps up with playoffs at the end of October.
Each team practices once a week with two practices prior to their first game with games taking place on Saturdays from 9 AM - 4 PM (NOTE: Depending on the number of registrants and weather related field conditions Friday or Sunday may be utilized to play some games. If so, these games will be played in the afternoon/evenings).
Take part in any of these Divisions:
- 1st-2nd Grade Coed Division
- 3rd-4th Grade Coed Division
- 5th-6th Grade Coed Division
VOLUNTEER COACHES NEEDED
Have fun and be a part of your athlete’s experience by volunteering your time to their team. Every season we are in need of coaches who love kids and youth sports. No coaching experience is necessary, but basic knowledge of football is needed.

Take Part In Our Carolina Challenger Football and Cheerleading Leagues
Organized sports can often emphasize skills or abilities that don't align with the majority. Our Flag Football and Challenger Cheerleading Leagues are a way to make team sports accessible to anyone interested!
The purpose of the Challenger Flag Football League is to provide an opportunity for youth, teens and young adults who have a disability to experience participation in an organized Flag Football League.
