WHAT IF THIS IS WHERE THEIR STORY BEGINS?
A new sport. New skills. New confidence. New friends.
Give your child the opportunity to discover flag football in a welcoming, structured indoor environment.
NTS Indoor Flag offers two age-appropriate programs designed to help young athletes learn, play, grow and belong.
FLAG FOOTBALL. ITS OWN SPORT. ITS OWN PATHWAY.
Flag football is more than a way to stay active. It's a sport of its own, combining agility, strategy, decision-making, teamwork and athletic development.
With flag football making its Olympic debut at Los Angeles 2028, there's never been a more exciting time for young athletes to discover the game.
At North Toronto Sentinels, we believe every athlete deserves the opportunity to learn the sport, build confidence and discover what they can achieve.
Learn. Play. Grow. Belong.
TWO PROGRAMS. ONE COMMUNITY. THE RIGHT STARTING POINT FOR EVERY ATHLETE.
Whether your child is discovering football for the first time or ready to keep developing their skills, NTS has a program designed for their stage.
LITTLE GRIDIRON
Every athlete starts somewhere.
A welcoming eight-week introduction to flag football, designed for young athletes who are ready to discover the game. Each week, children learn new skills and put them into practice through drills and games. The focus is on participation, fun, confidence and building friendships.

Become part of a community where every athlete is encouraged to participate, improve and enjoy the experience.
