2026 SPRING NFL Flag Football at Cardinal Stadium

STARTS IN APRIL!

REGISTER YOUR PARTICIPANT FOR THE GRADE THEY ARE CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN FOR SCHOOL!

NFL Flag at Cardinal Stadium

This is a 5 vs. 5, non-contact, recreational, co-ed league for children as young as 4 years old (Pre-Kindergarten) to 14 years old (8th Grade). We limit teams to 10 players or fewer to maximize playing time. This is an exceptional program for first time players who want to learn the fundamentals of football, and at the same time our league is also a wonderful opportunity for players who may want to continue to enhance their fundamentals and agility.
*MAX SPECIAL REQUEST = 6 Players

There are no try-outs and everyone participates! Children are placed on teams according to school, grade, and coach/buddy request. We do our best to make sure teams are even and good competition takes place each week.

This is a 6 game season with games played Sundays and a 1 Day Single Elimination Tournament at the end of the season. Practices take place one hour prior to game time each week to ensure a convenient and fun experience for all.

2026 FALL Youth Cheer (CIBFL)

STARTS IN JULY!

Southport Youth Cheer will provide participants an opportunity to build a foundation of cheer basics. This foundation should provide growth and boost confidence learning the fundamentals of cheer. We are also focused on family and will ensure that if a participant in cheer has a sibling/family member on a tackle team; the participant in cheer will cheer for the team of the sibling/family member.

Participants will practice during the week and cheer at the Junior Cardinals football games during competition in the Central Indiana Bantam Football League. Tackle Program games last approximately an hour. Practices for the cheer program should last approximately an hour and will be Mondays, Tuesdays or Thursdays determined by your coach.
