Site Director: Patrick Walsh & Lance Smith
Serra High School is where Next Level Flag Football originated and formalized operations. Fourteen years ago, Coach Walsh and partner Lance Smith had a vision to create a great a unique youth sporting experience to fit today's young athlete (and their families). Together Coach Walsh and Coach Smith have not only built a tremendous youth sports league but a thriving community for all Next Level participants throughout the Bay Area and beyond! Each season, we are reminded of the 'early days' of the program - one that has sought continued evolution and improvement with a sole focus to enhance the youth sporting experience for it's participants. The Serra/San Mateo location is now heading into its' 16th full season.
