The Y Hosts its First-Ever Clash at Camp Casey
EVERETT, WA, June 30, 2025. – The YMCA of Snohomish County is excited to announce the inaugural Clash at Camp Casey Flag Football Tournament, a dynamic one-day event set for Saturday, August 2, at the scenic YMCA Camp Casey Sports Fields in Coupeville, Whidbey Island. Open to boys and girls of all ages and experience levels, this festival-style tournament will feature fast-paced competition, team spirit, and family-friendly fun, all set on the beautiful shores of the Salish Sea.
“This is more than a tournament—it’s a celebration of youth sports and community,” said Chris Bellecourt, Association Director of Youth Sports, YMCA of Snohomish County. “We designed the Clash at Camp Casey to be a bridge from summer to fall, offering a competitive and inclusive environment for kids to grow, connect, and get ready for the season ahead.”
The event welcomes current and past YMCA Flag Football teams as well as youth athletes and teams from other leagues and organizations. The $175 team entry includes access to all tournament amenities, and players without teams can join the YMCA’s Free Agent List to be matched with a team.
“This is exactly the kind of opportunity that builds confidence and community,” said Jacob Hiatt, Flag Football Coordinator, YMCA of Snohomish County. “We’re not just running a tournament—we’re investing in young athletes. Every entry supports scholarships so more kids can experience the power of sports and belonging.”
