Quick Facts
- We believe that great team chemistry is built off the field just as much as on it. We work to build a supportive community where we help each other through life's challenges — that trust shows on the field.
- Through that we hope to help the wider community too: spread the word, inform people about the sport and bring more eyes to flag football.
- And for those asking what this sport is: it is a non-contact version of American football. Similar rules, smaller field, no tackles. Fast, tactical, and accessible — you can pick it up at any age.
- Open roster enquiries year-round; weekly training 4–5 times per week during the season.

Meet Merlin
Merlin is a wizardly frog. He came from the pond of Koseški bajer — a hidden gem of Ljubljana. When he decided to become the mascot for the Ljubljana Frogs flag football team, he transformed himself.
He is a cute animal who defends the pond and is king of the stronghold, Ljubljana Castle. Give him a hard time and he will give you the looks. He cannot speak because of the stitches, but he speaks with his eyes and on social media.
He has a jaw in the shape of an American football, with stitches on the ball forming his mouth.
Merlin is loved by fans of all ages. He is a true motivator and hero to us.
