"Our August camp saw former Redskins and Eagles Troy Drake
speaking to our campers"
Washington Redskins wide receiver James Thrash (shown above

League Summer Camp on June 26th and spent two hours with the campers, running
them through drills, signing autographs and speaking to the children, counselors

Faith number one in ones life. James also talked to the group about playing for
the Washington Redskins and his goals in life beyond football by helping
others. James has agreed to continue to be a positive role model to our league
members by having future speak engagements during the Fall League Season and
future summer camps.
Former Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles linemen

stressing to our league campers the importance of staying away from drugs and
doing well in school. The NOVA Youth Flag Football is very please to call Troy
Drake one of our own league family member as he coaches the Eagles in our Mites
Division. Pending his schedule, Troy Drake will be attending our Super Bowls

trainers ran the campers through multiple drills that centered on improving
speed, agility, quickness and power. In addition the campers was taught the
value of proper nutrition and it's role in improving energy and performance.
Of course no NOVA Youth Flag Football League Summer Camp would

Congratulations to FALL 2009 Super Bowl Champions ***
"Patriots
(Mites), Vikings (Juniors) & Patriots (Majors) all capture Super Bowl Victories"
In the most exciting Super Bowl of the day,
the Mites Division Patriots hung on to defeat the Vikings 7 to 6. The Patriots
would strike first as game MVP Ryan Price broke off a long touchdown run to give
the Patriots an early 7 to 0 lead. The Vikings would counter to pull within 7 to
6 as the defenses then took over for both teams. As the game was winding down
with under 30 seconds left the Vikings drove to the Patriots 5 yard line when
time expired.
The Junior Division Title game featured the
undefeated Ravens who boasted the league's best defense all season long versus
the undefeated Vikings. The Vikings would play a flawless game as they defeated
a very tough Ravens team 21 to 0 to capture the Junior Division Super Bowl
Championship. Dominic Diprenzio was named the game's MVP for his play on both
sides of the ball.
In the Major Divisions, the Patriots capped
off their unbeaten season by defeating the Chiefs 37 to 6. Bubba Lough ended his
three unbeaten Major Division career by being named the game MVP.
Congratulations goes out to the entire Patriots and Chiefs squad that played a
true team effort game the entire season.
The NOVA Youth Flag Football League would like
to thank all of the players, coaches, parents, referees & league officials for
making the Fall 2009 Season a fun and rewarding experience for all to remember.

their coaches came out in the rain to play flag football expecting to
play football with some kids from China in front of NFL cameras. The
NOVA league was selected by the NFL to participate in the game for an
episode of an upcoming reality show being produced for viewers in
China..... CLICK HERE FOR REST OF THE ARTICLE, PHOTOS and
