October 2026 Newsletter: Fall Flag Football, Youth Golf & Spring 2027 Registration
Welcome
Welcome to the October 2026 edition of the MB Sports Academy newsletter! Fall is in full swing in Central Florida, and our student-athletes are competing, learning and growing across every program. Here is everything happening at the Academy this month.
Our next Family Youth Golf Tournament takes place Sunday, November 1, 2026, at Forest Lake Golf Club.
Registration is open for the Spring 2027 OCPS Girls Middle School Flag Football League.
Section 1: Fall Flag Football Is Underway (Clermont)
Our Clermont Girls Flag Football League opened its Fall 2026 season on Friday, September 25 at Palatlakaha Park, and it was a blast.
Three teams (Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Tampa Bay) are competing in a 6-game regular season on Friday nights, followed by playoffs and the championship. The season is giving local athletes a positive, competitive environment to build confidence, communication and football fundamentals while learning the value of teamwork.
Thank you to our league sponsors: Track Shack Youth Foundation and Addictive Beauty School Orlando, who provided swag bags for every player. Thank you as well to our DJ and our officials for helping make opening night special.
Game nights: Friday, October 2 and Friday, October 9 Practice: 5:30–6:00 PM Games: 6:00, 6:30 and 7:00 PM Playoffs and championship: Friday, October 16
Week 1 photos are available from Stikna Photography.
Week 1 brought energy, teamwork and plenty of reasons to celebrate.
Our athletes continue to grow together throughout the Fall 2026 season.
Friday night games provide a fun and focused setting for development.
Section 2: First Family Youth Golf Tournament a Success
On September 20 we hosted our very first Family Youth Golf Tournament at Forest Lake Golf Club. Families played a 9-hole parent-and-child best-ball scramble (kids from the red tees, adults from the white tees) and we closed the day with food and awards outside under the covered area.
The event brought families together for a day of friendly competition, encouragement and connection. It reflected what we value at MB Sports Academy: helping young athletes develop skills while building meaningful relationships with their families and community.
Thank you to every family who played, and to Coach Beth Tash and the team at Forest Lake Golf Club for making the day run smoothly. We are grateful for everyone who helped make this first tournament a success.
Family golf creates opportunities for mentorship, encouragement and shared memories.
