PYFFL Announces The Launch of Unified Flag Football Program!

Pembroke Youth Flag Football League is proud to announce the launch of Unified Flag Football, a program that brings together athletes with and without intellectual disabilities to compete and grow as teammates. The creation of unified sports was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding.

In partnership with Special Olympics, PYFFL Unified will foster teamwork, sportsmanship, and community while aligning with the national Unified Sports model supported by Special Olympics and NFLFlag.
