BY | OCTOBER 31, 2012

On Saturday, October 6, 14 members of the Flag Flag Football League volunteered to run a Youth Field Day as part of the GSA Leadership Camp at UMass, Amherst.

There were 35 students from various regions of the State present for the 4 day leadership camp. Although these students had all Friday night and Saturday morning to get to know one another, the real bonding occurred on Saturday afternoon when the League showed up to lead them in interactive games. The day was run incollaboration with the Boston GSA and BAGLY. The students said the games were highlight of the weekend. Volunteers heard comments like "I didn't think I could play football until today, now I want to play all the time", "I want to join the league when I am old enough."

These are the members who volunteered:

Billy Carr
Brian Gagne
Austin McEntee
Marc Lewis
David Lopes
Lawrence Molloy
Peter Parcellin
Nelisa Rash (Friend of the League)
Kris Riley
Patrick Santos
Byron Thomas
