Joliet, IL Flag Football Program

Our goal is for all participants to get in the game!

Team Zone Athletics was established in January 2023 and is focused on programming competitive youth and teen sports for the community. We encourage teams from area football and cheer organizations, as well as individuals to sign up so that we can create an all-inclusive, fun, competitive environment for young athletes that is unlike any in the area.

With smaller team sizes, every athlete can GET IN THE GAME!

Giving Back

Team Zone Athletics is dedicated to giving back to the community and supporting all local youth organizations is one of our top priorities. When a team that is affiliated with a local youth football and cheer organization signs up, Team Zone Athletics will donate $250 back to their nonprofit organization. This ensures that not only will athletes benefit from participating in flag football, but the youth organizations they belong to benefit from a donation as well. We hope to see athletes from many local youth organizations play against each other, form healthy rivalries, and create the best competition in the area. Read More

Safety

Above all else, we are dedicated to the safety of participants, which is why Team Zone Athletics head coaches are USA Football certified. Over 1,000,000 coaches have been certified through USA Football, which teaches concussion protocol, provides background checks and helps the coaches focus on making a positive impact on the team. Also because of our commitment to safety and the well-being of players, a Certified Athletic Trainer is on the sidelines at every game to ensure that any athlete that needs medical assistance is attended to immediately.
