Play Club, Play Paladin!
Paladin Football Club is a competitive, team oriented program designed to develop and enhance the individual and team skills needed to compete at a higher level.
Club football teams compete in local tournaments and register in established local flag football leagues in the Southeast Valley including Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek, Mesa, Florence and San Tan Valley.
While club football competition breeds intensity, we believe as a Christian-based organization that club sports should be played the right way. Our club football teams display integrity, sportsmanship, respect, kindness and ultimately a Christ-like attitude on and off the grid iron. Prayer is cornerstone of each of our club football teams as well as an outreach to the teams we compete against.
Placement onto a club flag football team is determined through an assessment, tryout or player draft.
