Who We Are
About The C.R.I.B.
Louisville's premier NFL FLAG football league, serving 7U to 17U athletes across Louisville, Southern Indiana, and the surrounding areas, and a proud member of the Indianapolis Colts Flag League Network.
Making the game of football safer for our children.
We are building more than a league, we are building a movement. We use flag football as a tool to develop confident athletes, strong character, and connected communities. C.R.I.B. stands for Community, Respect, Inclusion, and Ball. Every snap is a chance to build community, every play is a lesson in respect, every victory is a celebration of inclusion, and every ball carries the potential to change lives. We create opportunities for youth across Louisville and Southern Indiana to compete, grow, and belong in an environment that values who they are and invests in who they can become.
