/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- RISE Flag Football Powered by Under Armour,
designed to foster a love for the game while instilling essential
life skills, is thrilled to announce a pioneering partnership with
the State of Maryland's Governor's
Office of Crime Prevention and Policy, the All4Love organization,
the Boys & Girls Club at Leonards Lane, and the Cambridge Police Department. This

participation, community engagement, and youth development within
the Cambridge area.
"We are incredibly excited to embark on
this transformative journey alongside our esteemed partners. This
partnership represents our shared commitment to making sports
accessible to all, and we are grateful for the support."
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. Through this
unique alliance, RISE Flag Football is set to offer individuals the
chance to join the RISE Flag Football league at no cost or for a
significantly reduced registration fee, due to the financial
opportunities from the State of
Maryland's Governor's Office of Crime Prevention and
Policy.
By removing financial barriers to sports participation, this
initiative aims to create a more accessible and equitable
environment, where individuals of all backgrounds can engage in
healthy and active lifestyles. Through the generous contributions
and collaborative efforts of all partners involved, RISE Flag
Football seeks to empower local youth, promote physical well-being,
and strengthen community bonds.
"We are incredibly excited to embark on this transformative
journey alongside our esteemed partners," said Steven Burke, owner, and operator of four
Maryland UA RISE Flag Football leagues. "This partnership
represents our shared commitment to making sports accessible to
all, and we are grateful for the support of the State of Maryland's Governor's Office of Crime
Prevention and Policy, the All4Love organization, the Boys &
Girls Club at Leonard's Lane, and the Cambridge Police Department. Together, we will
work tirelessly to ensure that every individual in the Cambridge area has the opportunity to
participate in our flag football league and experience the numerous
benefits of sports engagement."
The partnership represents a unified effort among state and
local organizations to leverage sports as a tool for positive
community development. By combining resources and expertise, the
collaboration seeks to provide a supportive and enriching
environment for individuals, especially the youth, to engage in
sports, learn valuable life skills, and foster a sense of belonging
and teamwork.
"We are excited about this partnership and the opportunity it
presents to the Cambridge
community," said Captain Patton from the Cambridge Police Department. "Together, we are
breaking down barriers to sports participation and paving the way
for a healthier, more engaged community."
Richard Alban from the Governor's
Office of Crime Prevention and Policy echoed these sentiments.
"This collaboration aligns perfectly with our goals of promoting
safety, well-being, and positive development among Maryland's youth. We are proud to support this
initiative that uses sports as a catalyst for community engagement
and crime prevention."
RISE Flag Football provides a safe and supportive environment
for young athletes to discover their potential 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, but these leagues also 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.
