Hey patriots, 702 blessed is a football organization that tries to help under age youth build skills like teamwork, communication, and integrity. From an actual  players perspective, I talked to a few players and they all said “ We are dedicated to the development of our youth and the leaders who inspire and guide our next generation.

Our goal is to educate and empower today’s youth with confidence, commitment, and integrity, so they can live a productive and successful tomorrow. We strive to teach young athletes respect for themselves, their peers and their community by instilling a code of ethics built on honesty, responsibility and teamwork.” They take children from 7-14 years old and put them on teams to train for flag football, likely because the school has our own 702 blessed team. They work out at 5:30 after school on wednesdays.

Teva Batoon started the 702 at Liberty to give the football players more practice and give them more comfort. They compete in games against other schools, like football but its flag football. So if you are looking to participate in a sport that requires skill, strength, strategic thinking and have the desire  to play as part of a team then join 702 blessed.
