The Pivot to Flag
The dream began with Paul, Dags, and Bri, three enthusiasts united by their passion for American Football. They grew up playing the tackle version of the sport, but soon faced a hard truth: the world of tackle football was not prominent in the Philippines.
They needed a new game plan.
That’s when they discovered Flag Football. While it traded the hard hits, Flag Football was rapidly gaining traction in the Philippines. Played with a compact, dynamic 5-on-5 format, the sport offered the same foundational strategy and competitive spirit as tackle.
This infusion of talent and experience formed the foundation of the Huskies Flag Football Team, a team that now stands strong and ready to dominate.
