WHO WE ARE
The Scorpions is more than a team, we are a
football family.
We're a fast-growing, dynamic American flag football club based in the Upper Lake Zurich region. We welcome players of all ages and backgrounds, from kids to adults, and from first-timers to aspiring athletes.
Our mission is simple: build people through sport. On the field, we learn discipline, commitment, and strategy. Off the field, we create lifelong friendships and grow together as a community.
WHY WE EXIST
We believe in the power of sport to
inspire, connect and transform.
The Scorpions were founded by a parent who simply wanted his son to play flag football. With no local options, he started a club. What began as a single team of 5–6 players is now a thriving community of 50+ players across 4 teams — and growing fast.
Today, we are a recognized force in Swiss flag football:
3x
U13 team reached national playoffs three years in a row
6
Players selected to the Swiss National Team
3
U11 and U13 achieving second place at the 2025 Swiss National Championship and U16 tying for 3rd place
OUR CULTURE
Innovation
We use elite training methods, including sprint systems from top US coaches. We're always evolving.
Community
Everyone matters. Everyone plays. Our club is built on mutual respect, teamwork, and shared purpose.
Support & Joy
No ego. Just great coaching, open hearts, and tons of fun on and off the field.
"It's energizing to coach and volunteer here. The community is special supportive, respectful, and genuinely fun."
