Who We Are

We are a Christian football team providing opportunities for homeschool students at the middle and high school levels in the Lincoln, NE area, to participate and compete in flag football.

 

Mission

The mission of the Lincoln Falcons Football team is to bring glory to God by providing an opportunity for homeschool students to develop Christian character and athletic skills while participating in a competitive flag football program under Christian leadership.

​

Philosophy of Athletics

We believe participation in competitive athletics can play an important part in the physical and spiritual growth of young men. We endeavor to create an environment that teaches the value of hard work, discipline and determination, respect for others, handling adversity, and honoring God. We work to have our culture contribute to good character development, good sportsmanship, and the development of God-given talents and abilities. We expect our players and coaches to work hard, enjoy the competition, respect each other and their opponents, and honor Christ in all they do. Because we participate in a competitive league, winning is one of our goals. However, we believe that God cares far more about how we compete and how we respond to winning and losing than about the outcome of the competition. We believe it honors God to compete with maximum effort and then to demonstrate humility in winning and respect for the opponent in losing. We call upon our coaches and players to dedicate themselves to these goals.
