FLAG FOOTBALL

FLAG DESCRIPTION

 

REGISTER FOR FALL FLAG FOOTBALL

Our program is a recreational-focused program intended to introduce young athletes to the game in a fun way that emphasizes proper fundamentals. Our flag football program is now based on the Olympic 5v5 model and follows the international IFAF standards.  This will allow players to enter into USA Football sanctioned events if desired.  We hope to host some of these events in the future!

The Fall Flag Football season runs from mid-August through mid-October. Game play is 5v5 style flag football with an approximate game time of 50 minutes. All games are played on Sunday afternoons at Ta-Ha-Zouka Park (Elkhorn Drive). 

NEW THIS YEAR:
Our program this year will follow the 5v5 Olympic model. New this year is a GIRLS ONLY division for 10U, 12U, 14U and 15+ female athletes!  Since 2019, there has been a 69% increase of young women ages 6-17 playing flag football and a growing demand for girls flag football to be sanctioned across the nation. 
8U and 6U will still remain COED for now.
