We are excited to share some important information with you regarding your child's football journey. As parents, we all want what's best for our children, and that includes ensuring they have opportunities to grow, develop, and thrive in their chosen sport. That's why we have joined the Northeast Junior High Football League (JHL) and why we believe it's a superior choice over other leagues like the American Youth Football (AYF).

At JHL, our focus is not just on wins and losses, but on the holistic development of each player. We understand that every child is unique, with different skill levels and abilities, and that's why we've implemented a Junior Varsity/Varsity format that meets players where they are while continuously challenging them to improve.

One of the key differences between JHL and AYF is our approach to game time. While AYF limits athletes to just a handful of plays in a two-hour game, JHL provides a full game experience for all players. This means your child will have more opportunities to get on the field, gain confidence, and further develop their skills by competing against others of similar caliber.

Moreover, in AYF, under-skilled athletes may struggle to get the support and recognition they need to earn more playing time. In contrast, JHL prioritizes inclusivity and growth by allowing players to move between Junior Varsity and Varsity games weekly, and even play both games if deemed appropriate by the coach. This ensures that every player has the chance to shine and contribute to their team's success.

If you're seeking a league that prioritizes athlete development and playtime, Nashua PAL under the Northeast Junior High Football League is the right choice for your family. Join us in fostering a supportive and empowering environment where every child can reach their full potential on and off the field.

Nashua PAL Storm is proud to offer the best head protection with Riddell SpeedFllex helmets for our football players. This football helmet features a Flex System that is designed to reduce the amount of force transferred to the player's head. With the Flexliner, the interior of this youth football helmet conforms to the player's head offering a comfortable and stable feel. For easy access to the athlete, the All-Points Quick ReleaseTM allows the face mask to disengage with a press of the button. The same helmets are used by the NFL.

Every two years our helmets are reconditioned and certified. We are providing brand new helmets for the 2024 season! Check out the process here.

Welcome to the Nashua PAL STORM FLAG FOOTBALL program. Flag football is for both boys and girls, and our program provides young players a fun and exciting opportunity to engage in non-contact action while learning lessons in teamwork. The program is designed to educate young people about football, while emphasizing participation and sportsmanship. Players learn skills and lessons that help them succeed both on and off the field.

Athletes ages 5 to 7 will be introduced to the football basics in a non-contact environment.  The players focus on learning and developing all the basic fundamental skills for playing football including: running, passing, receiving, how to read and understand scripted plays, lining up in formation and position-based teamwork.

We start by building our foundation with our returning veterans from our past season and increase our competitiveness by gaining some new recruits for the upcoming season.  The NPS FLAG FOOTBALL Program has been a tremendous success and is a great way to introduce your child to football.
