This is a contact sport where a shoulder to shoulder tackle is allowed and knocking the ball out of the other players hands. No other form of contact is allowed. The primary objective is to score points (ball goes over the goals) or goals.

Summer is heating up, but your belly is also bulging from sitting in air-conditioned room all day. Not to worry, the following water sports are cool and fun, perfect ways to escape the summer heat while getting a workout.

Stand-up Paddleboarding 

Stand-up paddleboarding was created by Hawaiian surf instructors to move around more conveniently when training. It requires just a board and a paddle. The board is wide and floats well, making it easy to maintain balance while standing up, even for beginners. This sport is great for toning up the abs, and can also improve the sense of balance. A variation of stand-up paddleboarding is paddleboard yoga.

Our Classes

We have four different football classes each tailored to a different age group.

However, we have two core beliefs that we take into every session.
