Raise the Flag: Support the Sea Dogs!

Help Us Build the Future of Flag Football!

We started this program with a simple mission: to provide young girls with opportunities to grow as athletes, leaders, and individuals through the sport of flag football. What started as a small group of 5 players has now grown into a family of numerous girls across multiple age groups. I’ve had the privilege of coaching incredible young athletes who continue to inspire me every day with their passion, dedication, and love for the game.

Flag football has always been more than just a sport for us—it’s a way to teach life lessons, build confidence, and create a supportive community. Through our program, these girls have learned about teamwork, perseverance, and leadership. Some of our players have gone on to play for top area high schools and for Team USA in national competitions!

Now, we’re at a point where we need your help to take our program to the next level. As we prepare for upcoming tournaments, both in-state and out-of-state, the costs for travel, lodging, tournament fees, and equipment are adding up quickly. Our goal is to give every player the chance to compete, regardless of financial background. We never want money to be the reason a talented athlete can’t take the field.

Here’s what your generous support will help us achieve:

  • Tournament Costs: Registration fees for local and national competitions.
  • Travel Expenses: Transportation and lodging for out-of-state tournaments.
  • Equipment: New flags, jerseys, practice gear, and training materials.
  • Scholarships: To cover fees for athletes who may not be able to afford them.

Every dollar helps us get closer to our goal of providing these amazing young athletes with the opportunities they deserve. Thank you for considering a donation to our program. Whether it’s $5 or $500, your contribution will directly impact the lives of these girls and help us continue building a strong, empowering community through flag football.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,
Eli Taliafero
