Teamwork

Campbell Middle School organized our 1st annual NFL Flag Football League in which 81 middle school kids participated. We created a 4 week tournament, culminating in playoffs and a Super Bowl. We had 10 teams, each representing kids' favorite NFL teams. The Arizona Cardinals defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, but all of the kids had a great experience playing the great game of football in a safe environment.

How did students and adults work together as a team?

High school football players at Lee's Summit North participated as a mentor for each team, while the high school coaches served as coaches and referees.
