第二屆波士頓市長盃腰旗美式足球錦標賽訂6月6日舉行

(Boston Orange編譯)波士頓市長吳弭（Michelle Wu）偕同公園與娛樂局今（7）日宣佈，第二屆「市長盃腰旗美式足球錦標賽」將於 2026 年 6 月 6 日在西洛士百利（West Roxbury）高中運動場正式登場。

波士頓市政府舉辦這項新興的非碰撞型運動比賽，旨在為全市青少年提供一個在暑期磨練球技、安全競比的優質平台。

吳弭市長表示，市長盃腰旗足球賽不僅能讓年輕運動員建立團隊精神，更是波士頓推廣包容性體育活動的重要一環。隨著該運動在全美熱度攀升，市府期望透過賽事讓更多孩子親身體驗美式足球的魅力。

本次錦標賽針對不同年齡層設置了五大組別，包括 8 歲、10 歲、12 歲及 15 歲以下的男子組，並特別規劃了女子高中組。主辦單位強調，腰旗足球因不具備傳統足球的劇烈身體衝撞，是各年齡與體能水準青少年接觸美式足球的最佳入門選擇。

賽事報名即日起開放至 5 月 31 日（週日）截止，有意參賽的隊伍可至波士頓市府官網（boston.gov/parks-sports）進行線上登記。民眾如欲瞭解更多詳情或公園相關動態，亦可撥打專線或追蹤波士頓公園局社群媒體頻道。
