Redskins Host Flag Football Kickoff Event For Special Olympics Virginia

Niles Paul and Logan Paulsen, hosted a flag football kickoff event for Special Olympics Virginia.

As the Loudoun County chapter of Special Olympics Virginia looked for a good venue to promote their latest sport, flag football, the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation stepped in to offer a logical platform – Redskins Park.

Sunday afternoon, 50 Special Olympics participants aged 8-19 filed into the team’s indoor training facility to test their football skills and kick off the upcoming fall season in grand, exciting fashion.

Tight ends Niles Paul and Logan Paulsen joined the large group, which became just the second flag football team in Virginia (another plays in Richmond), and offered some counsel, some laughs and plenty of high fives.
