FALCONS’ NEW NEST

Parents, coaches and kids celebrated the grand opening in Maspeth last Saturday of the Queens Falcons youth football league’s first-ever headquarters.

The Falcons’ new home base, located at 57-10 Mazeau St., will provide space for league organizers to register incoming athletes, plan the season and expand their program.

The new offices were dedicated in memory of Stephen “The Coach” Hoffman, the league’s late co-founder, who perished in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

This is an group of which we can all be proud. The Queens Falcons is more than that a football organization, it is a mentoring and education program to prepare children for the future.

Congratulations to Greg Hoffman, the coaches and all the parents who dedicate their time and energy to our greatest resource, our children.

I urge our entire community to support the Queens Falcons.

Anyone who has not yet had an opportunity to see for themselves what the Queens Falcons are all about should take a moment and do just that. You will not find many youth organizations like this one. Sure there are many different sports teams and organizations, but the Falcons believe in the total education of the kids first where others are only concerned with winning. The coaches firmly believe that their players must first strive to do their best as students and as a person. In speaking with some of the players, they have learned from their coaches and fellow team mates why it is so important to always strive to do their best in all their endeavors.

Congratulations to a great organization and a truly dedicated group of coaches and volunteers. Thank you for all you do for our kids.
