Napoleon, OH – On Saturday, October 5, Napoleon High School’s Charles Buckenmeyer Stadium will be the center of excitement as it hosts the Northwest Regional Flag Football Tournament. This eagerly anticipated event will showcase athletes from across the Northwest Region Special Olympics programs, all of whom are ready to give their best in a thrilling competition of skill, teamwork, and determination.
The event will kick off at 12 noon, with an athlete oath to honor the spirit of sportsmanship and fair play. Adding to the celebration, the Mayor of Napoleon will be in attendance to show support and join in the festivities, making the day a community-wide celebration of inclusivity and athleticism.
Flag football is a relatively new sport in the area, but it has quickly become a favorite for many athletes, offering a fast-paced and dynamic game without the full-contact aspect of traditional football. This tournament is not only a chance to watch exciting matchups but also an opportunity to highlight the amazing athletes of the Special Olympics programs, who have been working hard to hone their skills for this special day.
Spectators are encouraged to attend and cheer on the athletes as they play their hearts out. The tournament promises to be a fun-filled afternoon of competition, community spirit, and unforgettable moments.
Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to support these incredible athletes and witness the growing popularity of flag football in Northwest Ohio!
