North Commons needs YOU to step off the sidelines and into the game!
Our 11U and 13U flag football teams are signed up and ready, but we can’t hit the field without coaches.
If you’ve got a love for the game, a heart for youth, and a couple of hours a week to spare, you might be the MVP our players are waiting for.
👟 No coaching experience? No problem. We’ll support you.
💥 Big energy, team spirit, and consistency required.
📣 Tag someone who’s always yelling “Run it back!” from the bleachers 👀
Let’s not bench a whole season. Please help us keep these kids in the game.

The water park will have a reduced capacity of 150 guests for the rest of the season as the lap pool is again closed due to broken glass.
Expect lines to enter the water park, as once it reaches capacity guests will be admitted one group at a time, depending on the numbers of guests exiting.
