This is a NON-CONTACT NFL Flag Program and backed by USA Football. This is a recreation league, so there are no tryouts, cuts, etc. There is a full set of rules for each division developed by NFL Flag and the Rec and Park Dept. Each player must bring cleats/sneakers (cleats preferred), mouth guard, and their own water bottle. A reversible NFL game jersey and flag belts will be provided.
This is a Pilot Program!!! No previous experience is necessary.
Our mission is to ensure a fun experience by providing physical activity and encouraging full participation in a non-contact flag football league. Fundamental skills of football will be taught while incorporating values of teamwork, responsibility, and sportsmanship. Every participant will be given the chance to learn the fundamental skills of every position and be able to apply those skills in games. The league will ensure an environment of safety, respect, and fair play.
