The North Penn Squires Fall Flag Football Program is an intramural, non-contact football program designed for Kindergarten and 1st Grade athletes serving families in Lansdale, North Wales, and the North Penn area. Our goal is to introduce young players to the fundamentals of football in a fun, safe, and supportive environment.
Our Flag teams participate in the ICFL (Inter County Football League) and focus on skill development, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

Families are encouraged to plan vacations around this period whenever possible so players can safely and effectively complete the acclimation process.
