About Us

Flushing Youth Tackle Football Program began in the fall of 1995. The founders, Tyrone Jordan and Sherry Jordan, and Terry Gregory and Cindy Gregory designed a program for boys and girls between the ages of 8 – 12 years. The philosophy of the program is to teach the children teamwork, cooperation, and the basic skills needed to succeed at football and cheerleading.
