Brentsville Tigers Capture Inaugural Prince William County Girls High School Flag Football Championship
✨ Coach, Parents & Player Tips
Coach’s Clipboard: At the end of practice, run five rounds of 20-second all-out sprints with 10 seconds of walk-back rest—it’s the simplest way to fire up fast-twitch speed, teach quick recovery on the fly, and get everyone giggling through the groans.
Postgame Parents: I know car rides can feel endless, so on the way to practice ask your kiddo to close their eyes and describe the one play they can’t wait to make—hearing that excitement turns jitters into fuel, and you’ll both ride in on a hype wave.
Players Snap: Two hours before kickoff, ditch the heavy burger and snag a granola bar or sweet potato—light carbs fire up your legs, heavy meals fire a nap on the turf.
