Season Schedule and Championship Tournament
The regular season will continue through Saturday, April 26, leading up to the league’s Super Bowl tournament on Saturday, May 3.
As an official partner of NFL Flag Football, the Breakthru Athletic League also awards $500 scholarships each year to one graduating senior boy and girl through the BA Community Athlete Award.
Focus on Athletic and Creative Development
League President Sam Harris, who also coaches the Keiser University women’s flag football team, emphasizes both athletic performance and artistic expression.
“This season, we are holding a contest where players can submit their own designs for our end-of-season gift shirt,” Green said. “One design will be chosen and featured on the shirts.”
