Huddle Up Miami (HUMIA) is a flag football organization dedicated to training athletes to be "game day ready" by working with them to develop their skills and foster important characteristics that can be applied both on and off the field.

This approach also allows our older athletes to continue working on their skills with minimal risk of injury. Athletes are able to develop or continue to expand their offensive and defensive football skills like receiving, passing, covering, field awareness while building footwork, speed and agility. Athletes also learn the correct techniques needed to excel on the field in a safe and fun environment as well as apply them in our daily 1-on-1 competitions and 5 vs 5 scrimmages!
At HUMIA we pride ourselves on building confidence in our athletes as well as teaching them life lessons.
