If you're looking for a fantastic way to get your kids involved in sports this spring, check out the JOHNSTON Flag Football League. It's a great community over at the MidAmerican Energy RecPlex on Grand Avenue in West Des Moines. The kids get to play on a well-maintained 25 x 50 yd field, and what I love most is how inclusive the league is. It's open from Kindergarten all the way up to 8th grade, with specific divisions like the Middle School Girls Division. The season kicks off on April 4th and wraps up by May 16th, offering six to eight games plus playoffs, so there's plenty of action. This league's format is perfect since all teams are co-ed and the rosters, with about 8-10 players, mean everyone gets good playtime. What's more convenient? Practices are held on game days, allowing flexibility for kids involved in multiple sports. Coaches are volunteer parents, making it feel more like a tight-knit community. For more details on the league's rules or to register, make sure you sign up before the March 25th deadline.
