We’re Sam & Lee Alford — twin brothers from Fort Worth, Texas. Football has united us as brothers our entire lives. We share fond memories of rounding up neighborhood friends and spending entire Sunday afternoons playing football in the cul de sac -- drawing up double-reverses on shirts and debating which oak tree should be the endzone. We didn't even require grass to be making the best memories of our childhood -- because we were playing just for the joy of the game. And simultaneously, we were actively learning what it means to be a good sport, to be a good teammate, to respect your opponents and the game -- all while having fun.

 

This relationship to the game of football shaped us as people, as brothers. And it shapes how we coach -- building a meaningful experience, fostering a culture on a specific set of values: Fun, Fellowship, Positivity, Sportsmanship, & Inclusiveness.

​

With FlagConnect, we strive to pay that forward and build those very same communities that shaped us.
