FOUNDER's Message

I’m Jonathan, founder of UA Flag and a proud parent to both sons and daughters who share my love for sports. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many incredible parents through our programs. Your passion, dedication, and unwavering support inspire us daily to create meaningful experiences for our youth.

At UA Flag, we believe sports are more than just a game—they’re a way to spark joy, foster growth, and build the kind of character that lasts a lifetime. As a former player and coach, I’ve seen firsthand how football can foster invaluable lessons and character traits that help children live a better all-round life, even as they move into adulthood.  

That’s why we’re always innovating programs like UA Pulse and Levels, which go beyond athletic performance to help kids build confidence, perseverance, teamwork, focus, communication skills, and self-belief.

The truth is, we’re in this together, creating a future where every child can play, grow, and shine—both on and off the field. From cheering on the sidelines to celebrating their milestones, it’s an honor to partner with you in helping our children grow and thrive.  Let’s make this season unforgettable!
