Welcome to our new home with the Herndon Optimists Club!

Herndon Optimist NFL Flag Football (HONFL) is one of the sports sponsored by the Herndon Optimist Club and operates under the umbrella of the NFL Youth Football Organization. The league was started by coaches from the Herndon Optimist Youth Football (HOYF - tackle football) league to provide the football experience to more young people through a non-contact program held in the spring. Our goal is to provide boys and girls, ages 5-17, of Northern Virginia an opportunity to play NFL flag football and learn sportsmanship, teamwork, and responsibility while having fun!
