The Yard is a six-session program designed for young athletes ages 4–9, providing a fun and engaging introduction to the game of football. Held indoors at the Ash Center, each session begins with 40–45 minutes of instruction from OPS Football staff, focusing on core fundamentals like throwing, catching, change of direction, and acceleration. After instruction, players put their skills into action through activities and scrimmages, creating an energetic and supportive environment where kids can build confidence, improve coordination, and develop a love for the game.
