PROGRAM OVERVIEW

ABOUT US

Founded in 2024, the Minneapolis Kings are entering our fourth season as a competitive traveling youth flag football program and 501(c)(3) nonprofit. As we head into the 2027 season, we are proud to field teams at the 9U, 10U, 11U, and 14U levels. Our teams compete in regional tournaments throughout the Midwest. During the 2026 season, the Kings earned five tournament championships, and our 9U team finished ranked No. 7 in the nation.

Our program is designed for experienced, motivated athletes who are ready to compete at a higher level. Practices are structured, fast paced, and competitive, with a focus on advancing skills, game strategy, execution, and teamwork. Through strong coaching and a team first mindset, we challenge every player to grow, compete with confidence, and continually raise their level of play.

We believe young athletes perform their best when they feel supported, challenged, and excited to be part of their team. Through shared experiences on and off the field, the Minneapolis Kings are developing not only strong players but also confident, respectful, and resilient young people who represent our community with pride. We are proud of the culture we have built: competitive on the field and genuinely supportive like family on the sidelines.
