MESIVTA FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Flag football is a uniquely competitive, teamwork-oriented, popular, fun and safe sport that has recently made its impact on the yeshiva world scene. We believe that it would be a welcome addition to the already robust number of high school leagues. To our knowledge, an organized football league has never existed in the yeshiva high school scene, and we are confident that it will become a mainstay in the world of yeshiva high school athletics. With renewed interest from several of the local yeshivas and high schools, we have decided that this is the ideal time to introduce an organized flag football league to the yeshiva high school athletic scene. 

Over the past few decades, flag football has become an extremely popular sport amongst the orthodox Jewish community, particularly in the yeshiva world. What self-respecting yeshiva student who learned in Eretz Yisroel did not participate in the Kraft football league?

​

While there is currently an abundance of thriving yeshiva athletic leagues, we have been approached countless times over the past six years regarding a yeshiva high school flag football league by students, teachers, parents, and administrators. A yeshiva flag football league would provide yeshiva students with an opportunity to play America’s most popular sport in an organized fashion while fostering teamwork among classmates and bolstering camaraderie between local yeshivas. 

 

The Mesivta Football League brought flag football the the high school scene. It is a flag football league, governed by Torah hashfakos which provides a healthy, competitive, athletic outlet for high school students in the tri-state area.
