Are You Ready For Some Football? Roosevelt Island Youth Program Flag Football Super Bowl This Sunday - Come Out And Watch Up Close And Personal


For most of the United States, February 6 is Football's Super Bowl Sunday but here on Roosevelt Island we are lucky because Super Bowl Sunday will also take place this Sunday, December 12. How can that be? Charlie DeFino, the Executive Director of the Roosevelt Island Youth Program explains:
Roosevelt Island Youth Program Flag Football League 2010

This Sunday the Roosevelt Island Youth Program’s Flag Football League will have its Super Bowl Sunday starting at 10:30 at Copobianco Field. Commissioner Jamal Perry and his volunteers, Tony Leon, Waklimi Young and Eric Hagan, all former RIYP youth giving back to their community, will oversee the battle for this year’s championship.

The league had six teams and now we have come down to the final two for the RIYP Cup 2010, if you are not doing anything or like to watch our youth participating in some good clean fun, stop by and root the kids on. After the game all youth will receive certificates and trophies along with lunch at La Trellis to celebrate bringing this great program back. Special thanks should go to Christina Ewing, RIYP Chairperson of the Board and Iris Ewing also a member of the board for lending their support; these programs are made possible by the Roosevelt Island Youth Program and community volunteers.
