CHICAGO, Aug. 8, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Chicago's
youth sports scene is about to get a major boost with the launch
of RISE Flag Football, set to open its doors this fall. RISE,
designed to foster a love for the game while instilling essential
life skills, is poised to become a beacon of athletic and personal
development for the community's youth under the ownership of
Leslie McGreevy. Born and raised in
the suburbs of Chicago and a
resident of the city for the past 24 years, McGreevy brings a
wealth of experience and passion to the RISE Flag Football
family.
"Through this league, I hope to instill
values of hard work and teamwork in our players, skills that they
can carry with them throughout their lives."
Leslie McGreevy, a former
athlete, transitioned from a successful career in medical sales to
pursue her master's degree in analytics at Northwestern University. During her studies,
McGreevy discovered a passion for coaching and volunteering in
underdeveloped areas of Chicago.
Her dedication led her to teach basketball, flag football, and
soccer to numerous grade school children on a volunteer basis.
"I am excited to bring RISE Flag Football to Chicago because it provides kids with the
opportunity to play a sport they love in a supportive and inclusive
environment," said McGreevy. "Through this league, I hope to
instill values of hard work and teamwork in our players, skills
that they can carry with them throughout their lives."
More than just a sports league, this initiative aims to provide
a nurturing environment for young athletes to not only grasp the
fundamentals of flag football but also cultivate crucial traits
such as leadership, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
"We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Flag Football
League in Chicago. This league is
not just about the game; it's about shaping well-rounded
individuals who can excel both on and off the field," said Owner
and CEO TJ Lane.
RISE Flag Football League will provide a safe and supportive
environment for young athletes to discover their potential in
Chicago, but is also vital to the
local community. Not only will RISE provide an avenue for young
individuals to engage in physical activity and promote healthier
lifestyles, these leagues bring families together and foster the
growth of well-rounded individuals posed to become future leaders
within their community.
The league saw an exceptional year of growth and impact in 2023,
marking significant milestones that underscore its commitment to
youth development. The organization has seen remarkable expansion,
including engaging over 25,000 enthusiastic youth and providing
them a platform to learn, grow and excel both on and off the field,
securing a monumental partnership with global sports brand Under
Armour, and signing 75 agreements with owners in local markets
across 20 states.
