A new community initiative on the field
The Topeka Police Athletic League announced this week that it will field a new flag football league open to students in grades six through twelve. Practices will be held every Monday and Wednesday at 7 p.m., providing a convenient evening slot for families.
Registration is completely free and can be completed online at TopCityMostWanted.com or by emailing Officer Morgan Swisher directly. The program aims to remove financial barriers while promoting teamwork and physical activity among local youth.
Leadership and community support
The effort is being spearheaded by Officer Morgan Swisher, Lt. Kelvin Johnson and coach Yansay Williams. Their combined experience in law enforcement, community outreach and coaching is intended to create a safe, structured environment for participants.
Local officials say the league could become a model for other municipalities looking to blend youth sports with civic engagement. With registration already open, the league hopes to fill its rosters before the first practice session.
