- 21Carolina Blitz operates through two separate but complementary entities, each with its own role: Carolina Blitz Sports Corporation (CBSC) is our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. CBSC operates the recreational flag football leagues — Spring, Fall, and Winter seasons — and supports the broader mission of making youth sports accessible. CBSC funds player scholarships, sibling discounts, equipment, and community outreach through tax-deductible donations and sponsorships. Carolina Blitz LLC is our for-profit company. Carolina Blitz LLC operates skills-development programs, including the Summer Flag Football Skills Camp and select clinics and training opportunities. Payments to Carolina Blitz LLC are for services rendered and are not tax-deductible. Both entities share a commitment to the same values — teamwork, encouragement, fairness, respect, and commitment — and a single goal: giving every child in our community the chance to grow through the game of flag football. If you're unsure which program your child is registering for, the registration form and confirmation email will clearly indicate which entity is operating that program.
- 22Absolutely! We welcome players of all skill levels — whether you're new to the game or a seasoned player. No tryouts, no cuts — just pure flag football fun in a supportive and exciting environment.

Families can benefit from: Scholarships for children from under-resourced households, so cost is never a barrier to play Sibling discounts to make it easier for families with multiple kids to register Referral rewards for parents who introduce new players to the league Through these programs, we make sure every child has the chance to enjoy football, teamwork, and community — no matter their situation.
- 28Every donation made to CBSC directly impacts the lives of young athletes. Your support goes toward: Player scholarships so kids who may not otherwise be able to afford registration can play Equipment purchases to provide safe, high-quality gear for players and teams Community outreach programs that bring families together and expand opportunities for youth development When you donate, you're doing more than giving money — you're investing in a child's growth, confidence, and sense of belonging.
- 29Yes! CBSC offers sponsorship opportunities for local and regional businesses that want to make a positive difference in the community. Sponsorships help us expand access to youth sports while giving businesses exposure through field banners, jerseys, digital promotions, and game-day events.
