Neligh-Oakdale K-6 Flag Football To Hold Camp August 28

The Neligh-Oakdale K-6 Flag Football League will hold their annual training camp on Sunday, August 28. The camp will begin at 4 p.m. and last approximately two hours.

The training camp will be run by the different coaches in the league and will focus on teaching players basic football fundamentals. Members of the Neligh-Oakdale football team will also be helping coach and run the camp. 

Following the camp, players will be divided into teams by age group and assigned to a coach. The two age groups are kindergarten through second grade and third through sixth grade. Each team will vote on a team name, with kindergarten through second grade teams choosing college mascots and third through sixth grade choosing professional mascots.

Practices will then begin Tuesday, August 30 and will continue throughout the month of September every Tuesday and Thursday. Practices will begin at 6:30 p.m. and last approximately an hour.

Games will be played on Sundays throughout the month of September, beginning September 11. A full schedule will be given to kids during the first week of practices.

The training camp, as well as practices and games, will be held at the Neligh-Oakdale high school football field.
