The Reese’s Senior Bowl and the Mobile Housing Authority (MHA) have teamed up to provide public housing youth the opportunity to participate on an NFL FLAG team. For six weeks boys and girls ages 6-12 will stay physically active by playing flag football while learning the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship.

 

NFL FLAG, powered by USA Football, is also part of NFL PLAY 60, the league's youth health and fitness campaign. The program promotes physical fitness by getting kids active for 60 minutes a day. FOR MORE INFO: Visit www.nfl.com/play60

This partnership furthers our mission of connecting with all parts of Mobile,” said Jim Nagy, Reese’s Senior Bowl Executive Director.
