Flag football enriches a life: Nassor’s story
Nassor, age 6, has found joy and growth through flag football.
As an only school-age child being homeschooled, Nassor has limited opportunities to interact with peers his age. For children like Nassor, sports provide a crucial avenue for socialization and developing essential team skills. Ngozi, Nassor’s mom, shares that Nassor eagerly anticipates his flag football practices and games, not only because they allow him to be around other children but also because they offer a chance to build friendships and learn teamwork.
“Being in sports allows him to get the social skills and team comradeship he would otherwise miss as a homeschooler.”

The camaraderie and shared experiences on the field help Nassor develop a sense of belonging and improve his social confidence.
A Special Bond with Dad
One of the most heartwarming aspects of Nassor’s flag football experience is the opportunity it provides for father-son bonding. With a busy household, one-on-one time with his dad can be rare for Nassor. However, flag football has become a special time for them to connect and share their love for the game.
“Nassor looks forward to the activities not only because it gets him around other children but because he gets to share something with his dad,” Ngozi explains. This shared passion not only strengthens their bond but also creates lasting memories for both father and son.
Dreams and Aspirations
Looking ahead, Nassor dreams of trying tackle football and even has aspirations of traveling out of the country. His experiences on the flag football field have ignited a passion for sports and adventure, broadening his horizons and fueling his ambitions
