Hello Flag Football Families,
On June 24th we will open registration
We have opened registration for the 2026 Fall Flag Football program. The program is Co-ed for players in Kindergarten-12th Grade. Read below, and Register Early!
On our website there is a lot of great information that talks about our program and plans, tentative dates, etc. You can find topics under 'Latest News' and this will hopefully answer all of your questions. Check out our Mission Statement and Vision!
We will begin on September 12th with an evaluation/clinic day. Our 8th and up division will have a short practice on the first day and go right into games.
For the rest of the divisions weekdays are for practices and after a few Saturday practices, Saturdays will turn into games.
Please check those links on our website before emailing with a question.
We know a lot of families try to get their children involved with multiple sports and activities. We cannot possibly juggle everyone’s personal conflicts. We know everyone wants to know what day of the week practice will be. Unfortunately, we will not know until after we start to form teams on September 13th. We base the weekday schedule on coaches’ availability along with team counts. Without the coaches we cannot have any teams.
Any refund at any time will incur a $25 administrative fee.
The last day for a full refund (minus the admin fee) will be Saturday August 15th.
Over the last few years our league has continued to expand, which is great but with that we have seen families continue to overextend themselves and their children. Your child will find it almost impossible to participate in this program if they are also playing any travel/club sports in the fall. Most of these other programs will have a minimum of 2-3 days a week required attendance. We know you don’t know the fall schedule for these other activities but from experience they will not be able to do both. If your child is going to try and do another rec sport in the fall, please consider the commitment and importance of attending the weekday practices before you register. When you register you can put in any weekday conflicts but we cannot make any promises and this has gotten increasingly difficult to accommodate the last few years. Do not be surprised if you are practicing on a night that you put as a conflict.
We have gotten questions about players also playing middle school/high school sports. Middle school will not conflict with playing Flag Football. High school may have conflicts depending if there are any Saturday games for that sport.
Additionally in the last few years we had to put a cap on the number of players per division based on the number of volunteer coaches. Once that number is reached any additional players will be waitlisted. We have no idea when or if players will come off the waitlist. It would depend on other players dropping out which we cannot predict. Waitlisting will happen quickly so please register early.
Please put any known conflicts you might have in the section ‘Weekday Conflicts’ (days unavailable to practice), we will try to match up players on teams that will practice on days that might avoid any conflicts, no guarantees. We also have no guarantees on any carpooling requests. Please do not email us any requests for schedules or carpools. If you forget to enter that information you can go back into your child’s registration form and update it. We cannot form teams ahead of time with kids that are out of town and all want to play together, so please don’t ask.
The schedule should be as noted on the tentative schedule. Weekday practices are very fluid as mentioned above.
Coaches’ registration is done while registering your child, and if needed you can go back later if you decide you want to help coach. Please consider stepping up to help coach. Each team needs 2-3 coaches, no experience needed. See our coaches section for more information. Our biggest issue every year is finding coaches. We cannot coach your children. This is not that difficult, we give you a lot of information to help you out. Thanks for considering being a coach.
Our fee for the fall is $150. Late fee kicks in on August 3rd and adds another $10.
Registration closes August 23rd, or when our divisions reach that capped number. This will definitely happen before August 23rd for most divisions so register early.
Thank you, any additional questions or if you see any errors on the website, please feel free to reach out.
