The flag football program is designed to provide a basic understanding of football in a fun environment. Each team is limited to 12 players. The program teaches the three point stance, blocking, pursuit techniques, etc. Every player will be a ball carrier at least once each game. Score is not kept at this level so there is never any pressure to win placed on the children and the games stress fun. The last game of the year is Family Day with a players vs parents game. A pizza lunch is served after the game and every child receives a trophy and yearbook.
We expect to hold 4-5 practices prior to the regular season. During the regular season each team will play two games per week. Games will be scheduled in the following time slots:
Saturday: 9:00am or 10:00am or 11:00am
Monday: 6:00pm or 7:00pm
Wednesday: 6:00pm or 7:00pm
Requirements: Registration/Cleats/Water (flags & mouthpieces are provided)
This schedule is subject to change based on the number of teams registered. We will update this page once the schedule is finalized as the season approaches.
Flag teams consist of a maximum of 12 players. Each team will field a minimum of 8 players. Coaches may mutually agree to increase the number of players on the field prior to the game. We will strive to make every effort to ensure balanced participation among all players.
Offensive lineman cannot use their hands but may arm block. This eliminates the natural tendency to grab, hold and push the opponent. Each game consists of four, 8 minute quarters or until a team ends their series on downs or score.
