Flag football is a variation of tackle football, which everyone is familiar with, but does not require equipment and is a non-contact sport.  It is also one of the fastest growing sports around the world! Why?  It’s a fast-paced game, easy to learn without the concerns sometimes associated with contact sports.  Best of all it is incredibly fun.  Many of the same skills needed in tackle football are also used in flag football, such as throwing, catching, hand-offs and running…all in a safe and welcoming environment.

PLAYER AGES AND DIVISIONS:

With the massive growth every year we have separated age divisions into two categories – Recreational and Competitive.  Not all divisions will have both available depending on the team selections.  

GAMES AND PRACTICES:

We try to schedule each age division on the same night as the previous Spring season.  Below are anticipated 2024 game nights: 

Each team plays two one-hour games back-to-back each game night, meaning that over the 6-7 weeks of regular season teams will have 12-14 games including a playoff week and Championship games!

Some divisions may have another evening with scheduled games, possibly on a Friday.
Fridays are used for potential makeup games, or for divisions that have an odd number of teams to make sure everyone has the same number of games.

Teams will typically practice once or twice per week.  The League has no requirement regarding practices and it is usually left up to the coach and parents to agree on a practice schedule for their team. However, we expect that all teams should practice at least once per week, but no more than 3 practices.

Practice days, times and locations are again determined with agreement among the team.  Practices can be held anywhere there is a reasonable green space.  School grounds or parks etc., are perfect practice locations as a large field is not needed for flag football.
