ABOUT US

Welcome to Play Together Flag Football, where passion for sports meets community empowerment. Founded by high school varsity football players Brody and Lucas Handwerger, our mission is to harness the power of sports to foster teamwork, confidence, and personal growth among children and adolescents.

Play Together Flag Football was born out of a desire to create a positive impact in our community. Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive in a supportive environment, regardless of financial barriers. Our programs provide inclusive spaces where young athletes can develop essential life skills while having fun. Leading after school activities at The Coachman Family Center in White Plains, NY, and the Boys and Girls Club in Mount Vernon, NY, enabled us to implement engaging after-school programs that meet the needs of our local community.  Activities focused on building teamwork, confidence, and a love for sports.

Play Together Flag Football’s annual flag football tournament is with Camp Sunshine in Casco, Maine, a camp for children with cancer and their families. This event is a highlight for many campers, bringing excitement and camaraderie while fostering lasting friendships and unforgettable memories.

Through fundraising and community support, Play Together Flag Football offers scholarships to ensure that financial constraints do not prevent young athletes from attending summer camps and after-school programs.

At Play Together Flag Football, we are dedicated to creating personal growth and development. Our goal is to empower the next generation, helping develop fundamental skills  and support  needed  for a strong foundation.Thank you for supporting our mission and being a part of our journey. Together, we can make a lasting impact in our community.
