Mount Pleasant Parks and Recreation is gearing up for another season of Youth Flag Football, inviting boys and girls in grades 1st through 4th to join in a fun, team-oriented program that focuses on learning, participation, and enjoyment over competition.
The league will run from September through October, with games played Saturday mornings at the East Lake Soccer Complex. Each game consists of two 20-minute halves, and teams are expected to practice at least three times before their first game and once a week throughout the season.
This recreational league does not keep scores, emphasizing development and teamwork over winning. The program relies on parent volunteers to serve as coaches, and their involvement is critical to the program’s success. Parents interested in coaching are encouraged to include their contact information on the registration form.
Registration is open until September 3, 2025, and the fee is $20 for residents and $25 for non-residents. The cost includes a T-shirt and mouthpiece for each participant.
Families can register by submitting the completed form and payment to:
Mount Pleasant Parks & Rec, 307 E Monroe Street, Mount Pleasant, IA 52641.
For more information or questions, contact the Parks & Rec office at 319-385-1475 or email mpparkandrec@gmail.com.
Checks should be made out to Mount Pleasant Parks and Rec.
