At Harpeth High School in Tennessee, a new flag football camp opened its doors this summer, inviting youngsters to experience the fast‑growing sport for the first time.
Coach Zach Douglas Leads the Charge
Under the guidance of Coach Zach Douglas, the Lady Indians' mentor, and a cadre of high school athletes, participants moved through six interactive stations designed to sharpen passing, catching, route running and defensive fundamentals.
The day culminated in a series of small‑sided games, giving the 30 campers — boys and girls from across the county — a chance to apply what they’d learned in a fun, competitive setting.
This camp marks the second season of flag football at Harpeth High and coincides with the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association's inaugural state championship tournament, a milestone that signals the sport's rising profile.
Local organizers say events like this serve as feeder programs, funneling talent into middle and high school teams that will compete statewide next year.
