It’s fast, non-contact and taking the sports world by storm. Right now, flag football is the fastest-growing game in America.

At the YMCA of Greater Kansas City, simple rec league fun has leveled up into a powerhouse flag football pipeline. With the sport heading to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and high schools rapidly adding sanctioned teams, the Y isn't just offering a place to play—it’s building a bridge from entry-level Bitty sports all the way to opportunities to be on college rosters and national teams.

Behind every star athlete on a national stage, there is a system that believed in them first. At the heart of that system is Kayson Matthews, Senior Sports Director at the Y. Over a 16-year journey—starting as a referee and basketball coach—Kayson has helped build what began as a 10-kid basketball team into one of the country's premiere flag football development programs.

"The YMCA's always had a big part of my life," Kayson reflects on his own start. "The YMCA was kind of like my very cheap babysitter. My mom would drop me off as she worked her night jobs... some of the YMCA staff there got to know me... I ran into a very awesome volunteer coach that just saw me there all the time and added me to his team."

That same foundation of opportunity is now launching local athletes onto national pedestals.

Quinn catches a ball in the air

Never Say Never: How a “No” didn’t end a journey.

Quinn Miles almost didn't play any type of football at all. When his mom initially said no to tackle football out of safety concerns, flag football at the Y offered the perfect middle ground. He signed up in 7th grade, not knowing it would rewrite his athletic future. 

Four years later, Quinn is a Team USA U-15 selection, one of the top-ranked wide receivers in the nation for his age group, and in the running as a finalist for NFL FLAG Player of the Year.

"Parents, if your kids want to play football, let them play," Quinn advises families who might be on the fence. "Let them play. Go. Football, you can make so many new bonds, so many new friends, and it gives you opportunities to be a leader."

Today, Quinn bridges both worlds, starring as a receiver for Shawnee Mission West’s tackle team while continuing his trajectory through the national flag football pipeline toward future Olympic consideration.

Kate, a flag football quarterback, prepares to throw a ball

Pioneering the Future of Women Playing Flag Football

Before sanctioned high school teams or dedicated girls' leagues, Kate Mikuls just wanted to touch the football. Playing in co-ed rec leagues, she realized quickly that if she wanted the ball in her hands, she had to take charge.

"I had to learn to play quarterback because the boys wouldn't throw me the ball," Kate recalls. She took the snap, mastered the position, and earned every yard herself.

When the Y introduced a dedicated all-girls flag football program, Kate found the space she had been pioneering toward all along. Now playing at Missouri Valley and recognized as an NFL FLAG Player of the Year finalist through the Kansas City Chiefs partnership, Kate sees her journey as part of a much larger movement.

"It was really amazing to have something, like, special for us," Kate says. "It's really special to be a part of a core group of girls who wanted to do this, and now we finally get to pioneer this sport that's turned into an Olympic sport."

Her advice to young girls looking for their place on the field? "The point is to have fun and to do something that you love. So if you love it, you should do it, and then we'll see what happens."

Jordan catches a ball over her head in the end zone to score

Work Hard, Play Hard, Dream Big

Coming up through the same Y pipeline starting in middle school, Jordan Garcia proves that athletic excellence and academic discipline go hand-in-hand.

As an NFL FLAG Player of the Year nominee, Jordan is held to strict GPA standards—a requirement she embraces as she sets her sights on NCAA Division I and Division II college roster spots in a rapidly expanding sport.

"I feel like just going to camps and being proactive about putting yourself out there... talking to coaches is really important so you do get that light and you check out all these programs that are available," Jordan explains.

For Jordan, watching high schools and colleges build out flag football programs in real time during her high school career is proof that the path she started at the Y is leading to real collegiate and international opportunities.

The System Behind the Stories

The success of athletes like Quinn, Kate, and Jordan isn't an accident—it’s the result of an intentional structure built underneath them.

Across four distinct seasons, the Y operates both recreational and advanced competitive tracks, ensuring every child lands in a division where they can be challenged and develop. To give athletes real-world exposure, the Y has developed a regional tournament circuit with university partners like Ottawa, Avila, Baker and Park, stretching all the way to tournament stops at the University of Nebraska.

And flag football is only one doorway into the Y's sports ecosystem. Starting with Bitty Sports for ages 3–5, children enter a continuous development path that carries them through elementary, middle, and high school across sports like basketball, soccer, street hockey and water polo

Crucially, financial barriers are removed at the front door. Through the Y’s financial assistance and scholarship programs, we work hard to make sure cost is never the reason a child has to sit on the sidelines.

Your Kid’s First Step Starts Today

You don't need to know if your child is going to be the next Team USA selection, college recruit, or NFL FLAG finalist. You just have to give them their first door to open.

Whether starting in Bitty sports at age 3 or trying flag football for the first time in middle school, the YMCA of Greater Kansas City provides the community, coaching and pipeline to help young athletes blossom.

Every Wednesday night in Johnson County, a gate gets unlocked an hour before anyone arrives. That's Raegan Schurr, Senior Director of Adaptive Programs, making sure it's open before the first car pulls into the lot — because for the families of the YMCA of Greater Kansas City's Challenger program, showing up is the easy part. Belonging is what happens next.

For 20 years, Challenger has given kids and young adults with physical, developmental, and intellectual disabilities a place to play real sports — baseball, bowling, basketball, flag football, swim lessons, and social outings — with every athlete paired with a volunteer "buddy." But ask anyone who's been part of it for long enough, and they'll tell you the program was never really about the scoreboard.

Just ask the Schnackers, who've been part of that story for more than 15 of those 20 years.

A Family, 15 Years In

Six people in KC Current scarves smile together in the stands at a soccer stadium

Janet and her son Daniel found Challenger more than 15 years ago, back when Daniel was five years old and just beginning to find his voice. Kindergarten had felt uncertain — Daniel didn't yet have the words to describe his world. Then he found a baseball field where he was already accepted exactly as he was.

"Being in this supportive environment that they accepted him and encouraged him as he was, I just saw his ability to communicate really explode," Janet says. What started on the field spread everywhere else — into school, into friendships, into the rest of his life.

Fifteen-plus years and countless Wednesdays later, Daniel is one of Challenger's most joyful leaders. He opens every session the same way — "Rise up, guys!" — and leads the group through the starfish stretch, a warm-up move he picked up from a fellow athlete and made his own. He's traded seasons with friends who've become family: Doug, Tyler, Brandon, Brian, Jordan. When asked who his all-time favorite coach is, Daniel doesn't hesitate: "My bros. Or the GOAT, my brother — who's my boat."

The Buddy Who Became a Brother, Twice Over

That brother is Adam, Daniel's oldest sibling, who started as his buddy on the ball field before he was old enough to know what he was signing up for. "I was pretty nervous the first time," Adam admits. "I wasn't sure I knew what to do." The coaches and volunteers around him made sure he never had to figure it out alone — and somewhere along the way, being Daniel's buddy turned into a calling. Adam is now a physical therapist, working with kids who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. He traces the decision straight back to those Wednesday nights.

"Getting to be a part of Challenger really introduced me to this broader community," Adam says. "I saw how, with just a little encouragement, a little love, a little attention — showing you that you matter, helping you be part of a team — how that just helped them blossom."

Daniel puts it simpler: "It's actually really fun. One of the big reasons why I am who I am."

A Community Built on Showing Up

Ask Janet what keeps her family coming back after all these years, and the answer isn't really about sports at all. "It's our community. It's our friends," she says. "Reagan does a great job of making every family feel valued, every athlete feel important and accepted where they are."

That community shows up in the small moments — parents trading advice on the sidelines, buddies gathering at picnic tables after practice to talk through how to support each athlete a little better next week — and in the big ones, when life outside the field gets hard and someone from Challenger is the first call.

"Challenger is a place you see pure, unadulterated joy," Janet says. "Whether it's I got to kick the ball, whether it's I get to see you today, whether it's I successfully threw my ball down the alley and it didn't jump over to the next one — that joy is just so pure."

A Program That Keeps Growing

Challenger athletes and volunteer buddies stack hands in a team huddle on a soccer field

Twenty years after Challenger began with a simple idea — everyone plays — the program has grown from two locations to three, with more families finding their way in every season, often the same way the Schnackers did: word of mouth, from one parent to another. Daniel has become one of the program's best recruiters, welcoming new athletes the moment they arrive. Janet is often the first person a new family talks to.

And the story keeps going. Daniel now brings the same confidence he built on the field into the rest of his life, and Adam has built a career around it. Raegan is still at the gate an hour early, every Wednesday, making sure it's unlocked.

Come See It for Yourself

If you have a child, or you're a young adult, looking for a place to play and belong, Challenger meets on Wednesday nights in Johnson County, with Saturday basketball and new locations on the way. Come watch, come try it, come as you are.

And if you've ever wondered what it's like to be someone's buddy — no experience required, just a willingness to show up — Daniel has one piece of advice:

"I'd say do it, and you won't regret it."

The latest episode of The Movement takes us to the Atchison Family YMCA — and to a story 40 years in the making.

In Atchison, Kansas, there was once a street called Division.

Everyone in town knew what the name had come to mean, not the county line it was drawn for, but the line it became. A little girl grew up on that street. A woman in her community saw her, really saw her, and paid her preschool tuition so she could attend the Atchison YMCA. Then came swim lessons, a neighbor who drove her there, a tadpole certificate, and something harder to name: the feeling of being invested in.

Across town, another girl couldn't stay out of the Y pool. The aquatics director noticed and asked a question that changed everything: "You love to swim so much, why don't you swim for me?" The Y became her first job. Swim instructor. Lifeguard. First lessons in leadership, compassion, and what it means to represent something bigger than yourself.

Forty years later, on the newest episode of The Movement, those two girls sat down together at the Atchison Family YMCA/Cray Community Center with host and YMCA of Greater Kansas City President & CEO Mark Hulet.

One of them is India Webb Boulton, attorney and member of the YMCA of Greater Kansas City Board of Directors.

The other is La Rochelle Young, the Mayor of Atchison.

Young India August Podcast

"Somebody Sees Something in Me"

India's Y story starts with a sponsorship. A woman in the community, someone with no obligation to her, covered the cost of preschool at the Y when her family couldn't. What stayed with India wasn't just the opportunity. It was what the gift said.

"I felt like I was special," she recalls. "Somebody sees something in me; I'm going to do well in this preschool because somebody sees something in me."

That spark carried her from Atchison to the University of Kansas, to law school, to a legal career spanning Minnesota and Kansas City, and eventually back to the Y, first on the Linwood YMCA Mission Board during its capital campaign in Kansas City's urban core, and today on the association's Board of Directors.

The sponsored kid became the builder. That's the first full circle.

A First Job That Never Left the Résumé

For Mayor Young, the Y wasn't a sponsorship; it was a start. Teaching swim lessons taught her how to communicate with parents, with bosses, with kids who looked up to her around town. It taught her that when you wear the Y's name, you carry its reputation with you.

One memory stands above the rest: a young child, terrified of the water after significant trauma, arms locked around her neck. Week by week, she helped that child let go, to go under, to float, to trust. "It helped me understand compassion," she says, "and what belonging can do."

That first job led to internships in Washington, years of public service, work with the Kansas Department for Children and Families, and eventually, the mayor's office of her hometown. Ask her today, and she'll tell you: the YMCA is still on her résumé.

That's the second full circle.

Division St. Unity St. Sign Atchison

The Street That Changed Its Name

Both women grew up knowing exactly what Division Street meant in Atchison. But inside the walls of the Y, India says, that line never existed. "It wasn't a segregated space. It was a safe place for this community, a place where people gathered, of all races. It was for everybody."

For thirty years, residents tried to change the street's name and couldn't. Then, in the summer of 2020, three Atchison High School students decided to try again. They went door to door gathering testimonies. They stood before the City Commission with 500 signatures. Residents lined the street for blocks in prayer: monks, police officers, teachers, commissioners. On July 20, 2020, the Commission voted 5–0.

Division Street became Unity Street.

"It really was a sigh of relief," says India, who grew up on that street. "This is truly representative of the community that I know, where people really do come together."

And here's the part that ties it all together: the young people who changed that street name were about the same age India and La Rochelle were when the Y was shaping them. A new generation, already proving the thesis.

The Return on Investing in a Child

This is the heart of the episode, and the heart of Atchison: a community that invests in its young people gets its future back with interest.

One woman's generosity produced an attorney who now helps govern ten YMCAs across the Kansas City metro. One aquatics director's invitation produced a mayor, whose own daughter is now in her fourth year as a lifeguard at the very same Y. Six generations of Atchisonians walk through the doors of a Y that has served this town since 1872, in a building the community itself raised nearly $10 million to expand. Just this month, a new member signed up at age 98.

Asked what she'd tell someone in a position to be "that person" for a kid in their town, India didn't hesitate:

"Your investment can spark a light in a small child. Don't be afraid to give. Giving goes beyond just the person you're giving to, you can look at La Rochelle and myself. We're now giving back. And we hope what we're doing creates a legacy that will continue to give back."

Be the One Who Shows Up

Somewhere in Atchison right now, somewhere in every one of our communities, there's a kid standing at the edge of a pool. You can be the person who shows up for them, the way people showed up for a future board member and a future mayor: through a program, a membership, a volunteer hour, a gift.

Inside the Y's year-round push to close the STEAM gap, and the open invitation to KC companies who want in.

On a hot July afternoon at Sunset Valley Elementary in Lee's Summit, summer day campers cut bendy straws, taped them into winding paths, and dropped a small ball in one end to watch "food" travel a homemade digestive system from mouth to, well… the other end.

It looked like play. That was the point. Somewhere between the giggles and the (anatomically accurate) pile of pretend poo on the table, those kids were doing science, engineering, math, and design, and one camper named Austin was already talking like a future surgeon. Medical school in his future? "Yeah, it is."

That moment is exactly what the YMCA of Greater Kansas City is building toward. And it doesn't stop when camp ends.

A Lab on Wheels and a Bigger Idea

The build came courtesy of the Missouri AfterSchool Network's STEAM Mobile Lab, a rolling classroom bringing hands-on STEAM, VR, drones, robots, 3D design, to kids across the state. MASN educator Richard Irwin calls STEAM a gateway: to careers, to confidence, to learning that failure isn't the end of the process, it's the middle of it.

But the mobile lab rolls out at the end of the week. The Y is there every single day.

Stem Class Presentation

STEAM Doesn't End in August

Summer day camp is just one chapter. When school starts, the Y's Youth Development team is in more than 90 school sites across the Kansas City metro, serving 3,500+ students in before and after school programs, where kids get homework help, healthy snacks, physical activity, and more STEAM, all coordinated with what they're learning in class.

Educators call it closing the STEAM gap, the reality that some kids don't get these experiences anywhere else. The Y exists to make sure they do. And because the Y is a nonprofit with scholarships and subsidy options, cost is never the reason a kid misses out.

The STEAM Alliance: Where KC Companies Come In

Kansas City is full of engineering firms and tech companies whose people use design thinking every day. This January, the Y brought 14 of those firms into one room and asked: what if you helped grow the next generation of your own workforce?

The result is the YMCA STEAM Alliance, where local companies can plug in however fits them best:

The ask is simple: think big, start small. A few firms tried a few things this summer. The goal is dozens of partners, embedded year-round.

Stem Class Kids Work

The Spark Is the Whole Point

Why does one kid building a straw digestive system matter? As the Y's Andi Gilbertson puts it, it's not about anatomy, it's about the spark. That "oh my gosh, I didn't know that" moment when learning becomes something a child owns.

The Y engineers those moments on purpose, all year long. If your company wants to be part of it, the door is open. Connect with the YMCA of Greater Kansas City's Youth Development team to join the STEAM Alliance, and help a kid like Austin get from a straw model to a stethoscope.

A conversation from The Movement with KC CARE Health Center

It started with a cup of coffee, definitely not decaf.

That's how Doug Day, Chief Marketing and Development Officer at KC CARE Health Center, describes the spark behind one of the most natural partnerships in Kansas City health. He was catching up with Paige Salveter, the Y's Senior VP of Brand Strategy and a longtime college friend, when the idea clicked: he's in health, the Y's in health, why not do something together?

A few months later, KC CARE rolled two mobile medical units onto the lawn at the North Kansas City YMCA for Healthy Kids Day. Roughly 2,000 families were already there to play, connect, and have some fun. KC CARE met them where they stood, with dental screenings, wellness check-ins, and real conversations about health.

On the latest episode of The Movement, YMCA President & CEO Mark Hulet sat down with KC CARE President & CEO Wil Franklin and Doug Day to talk about what that day revealed, and why the Y and a community health center turn out to be working toward the very same thing.

KC Care Healthy Kids Day Van

Two organizations, one mission

KC CARE has served Kansas City since 1971. Today it cares for more than 23,000 patients across three clinical locations, and as a community health center, it operates on a principle that should sound familiar to anyone who knows the Y.

"We provide care regardless of your ability to pay," Franklin explained. Fees slide based on household income and size. The board is made up of patients. Medical, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy services all sit under one roof, so families don't have to chase care across town.

Hulet kept hearing the echoes. Sliding scale. Financial assistance. Serving every stage of life. Showing up as a connector in the community. "There are so many parallels," he said. The Y runs 10,000 programs, but it really does one thing: connect community. KC CARE uses healthcare as its tool, but the goal runs deeper, moving people toward stability and a healthier life.

Health is bigger than a doctor's appointment

A through-line of the conversation: the things that shape our health often have nothing to do with a clinic.

Franklin pointed to the social factors that drive outcomes, such as stable housing, healthy food, safe neighborhoods to walk and play in, a healthy start in pregnancy and early childhood. Stress and friction matter too. Sometimes, he noted, the act of filling out a financial-assistance form is enough friction to make a parent give up on care entirely.

That's where KC CARE's patient health coordinators come in, a team that works alongside medical providers to anticipate the non-medical needs: applying for benefits, finding food or housing, navigating the system itself. As Day put it, they're the glue that keeps patients on a healthy path.

It's also where the Y fits. Active living, social connection, and a place where everyone belongs aren't separate from healthcare. They're prevention.

KC Care Healthy Kids Day

Where the partnership goes next

Asked where the two organizations could make the biggest difference together, both leaders landed in the same place: the very beginning of life.

Maternal and infant health topped the list. So did the early years, making sure kids start school with their vaccinations, without dental pain, with access to behavioral health support. "Working upstream instead of downstream," as Hulet framed it.

Day saw a concrete opening too: the childhood immunizations, sports physicals, and screenings families already need for Y camps and programs. Imagine a referral path where a parent enrolling their kid at the Y also opens the door to a primary care home at KC CARE, and everything else KC CARE offers along with it.

Breaking down the barriers

The leaders were candid about what stands between families and care, and how KC CARE chips away at it:

And one misconception worth clearing up: KC CARE is for everyone. "You're not taking up a slot," Franklin said. "You're helping increase access." The staff favorite T-shirt says it plainly: Everyone belongs.

One small step this month

Mark closed by asking his guests what a family could do right now. Their answer was refreshingly simple:

Call your doctor. Find out what screenings you're due for. And with school closer than it feels in June, get those back-to-school physicals and dental checkups done before the last-minute rush.

Whole-person health, active living, and unconditional care aren't separate ideas. They're connected parts of a healthier Kansas City, and they show up best in the trusted places where people already gather.

If this conversation moved you, share it with someone who cares about Kansas City. Then take that one small step this week, for your own health or someone else's.
