Update: We appreciate your donations, love and support! The venue for the flag football Super Bowl has been changed to Las Vegas. Coach D has to change all the reservations that he already made and start over.
The Pocono Lions flag football team has been in existence since 2016. It was started by Dana Antal, his kids were in the YMCA flag football league and Coach Antal scouted around for avenues for the kids to continue to participate in flag football. He found out about tournament competitions, and started a team. The team has continued to steadfastly participate in tournaments, experiencing wins and loses, continuing to grow as team members aged ou,t and went on to college and so on. It has been a positive influence in the lives of young men, crossing. economical and sociological dividers without a hitch.

The team was observed by the Coach of the larger renowned Staten Island Cobra's, who was in need of a 15 and under group of young men to compete in the California Super Bowl week tournaments (in Las Vegas). The coach said what caught his attention about the Pocono Lions was much more than their skill at flag football. It was their integrity on the field, that more than anything, is inspiring this fundraising effort. They need funds to get to Vegas. The tournament is scheduled to start February 4th, 8 young men and the coach need flights, a hotel and registration money. Lets pull together and support the sportsmanship like conduct and small town team with big dreams group Known as the Pocono Lions!
NOTE FROM COACH DANA:
The Pocono Lions Youth Flag Football team, in connection with Staten Island Cobras organization, received a bid to play in the NFL Flag bowl during Superbowl week. Only sixteen teams in the 14U division in the entire USA have a bid. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for a group of amazing young men. Those young men played in countless tournaments experiencing defeat and growing together as a team; until finally they won the Valley Forge Tournament as an underdog playing with all heart, giving them this bid.
These young men display character, integrity and team work often noticed by other coaches and league officials. If these young men are our future, then we have a lot to be hopeful for. They exemplify what is right with the world. Diverse and from different backgrounds, they show us what can be done when we commit to giving it our all to a common goal.
Let’s help them get to Las Vegas!
May God’s Love overwhelm you today,
