Welcome To Five Star!

Five Star Flag Football is the premier flag football summer program in New England and one of the first NFL Flag-sponsored summer programs for youth.

While the NFL's popularity is increasing, so are concerns about head injuries and their long-term affects. Five Star Flag Football addresses this by providing a fun yet very safe summer program where children can learn to play a very safe sport - Flag Football.

Flag football has become one of the fastest growing sports in the United States, but it often lacks proper instruction. Our program strives to teach proper flag football fundamentals and techniques such as catching, throwing, fair play, teamwork, and leadership. Our founding partners are college coaches and athletic directors with years of experience running high quality youth programs. We understand the importance of engaging children.

Meet Our Coaches

Our Facilities

Five Star Flag Football is conveniently located on the campus of world-class Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. Our program is hosted on Gordon Field next to the Gosman Athletic Center located on 415 South Street. We are proud to offer a convenient and safe pickup and drop off location.

Our fields and facilities are state-of-the-art. Your child will enjoy playing on a synthetic turf field used by college athletes - similar to the fields played on by many NFL teams. Our top-notch facility helps us provide the ultimate summer sports experience for your child. No other flag football program can compare.

If the weather turns unfavorable, we are able to run the program inside our world-class arena located on the campus premises in the Gosman Athletic Center. We are proud to be one of the only programs in New England who can offer an indoor alternative. Whether we are outside on the beautiful turf field or indoors due to weather, our facilities are second to none.

Brandeis allows us access to its beautiful grass and turf fields and an indoor arena in case we experience unfavorable weather. Sometimes it is too hot, sunny, or rainy. We are always watching the weather forecast and are ready to go inside to the state-of-the-art Gosmon Sports Center whenever necessary. The Gosman Sports Center has enough floor space for us to accommodate all camp activities. Excessive temperatures and rain are never a problem.

On days when camp is held outside, we go into the Gosman Center to have lunch in an air-conditioned lunchroom. The facilities at Brandeis allow us to provide a wonderful camp experience for all!
