PRACTICES AND GAMES AND TOURNAMENT
Spring Flag Football (SFF) will include a few academy style practices to encourage the importance of FUN and enjoyment in all we do! The academy practices will also teach the basics of football while inspiring the positive and improving mindset.
Not all teams will be scheduled with games every weeknight but teams are encouraged to take advantage of this time for a Team practice. Fields will be available for practices. There may also be an opportunity for a player to be picked up for games with another team if they are not players for their roster.
Games will be scheduled as "Double Headers" to allow more FUN and to help ensure all teams play minimum of 10 games.
While SFF's primary goal is to ensure our youth athletes have FUN, we also want to encourage proper sportsmanship through learning how to win and lose. Therefore, a single elimination tournament will be played at the end of the SFF season for each league to determine League Champion!
EVALUATIONS
There are NO formal evaluations for Spring Flag Football. Our goal is to utilize the first Academy style practice to best roster each team for a FUN and competitive season.
COACHING
We are always looking for coaches! If you didn't note in your child's registration that you'd like to coach, you can log back into your account and volunteer to be a Head Coach or Assistant Coach. You can also contact the League Coordinator.
