Prepare for Glory

2011 saw the return of tackle football to the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club. In 2011, the Kips Bay Football program fielded 5 teams and won 2 conference championships as well as a city championship. The program also had 2 teams qualify to compete in the UYFL National Championship tournament held every December in sunny Florida.

In 2012, we will build upon 2011’s success. We will once again offer our “Flag First” instructional spring flag football program as well as our travel tackle program in the fall. New in 2012 will be our Spring Instructional Tackle Program and our 4day/3night tackle sleep away camp.

Registration begins January 21, 2012 from 10:00am to 12:00pm and will be open every Saturday thereafter.

We will offer the following divisions:

Pricing is as follows:
