ADVANCED FLAG FOOTBALL

Advanced Flag Football is a modified version of flag that continues to build on the basic fundamentals while introducing the proper technique of open-hand blocking and pass rushing.  Soft shell helmets and shoulder pads are utilized for player safety and to provide a more authentic game play experience.  Here’s some important information:

AGE GROUPS AND LEAGUE NAMES

Important Note about age groups.

In the past, we have never had enough players to form a 6th /7th grade league, so we combined them with the 4th/5th grade league.  To improve safety in that league, we have changed the age groups and added league names.  The new leagues will be as follows:

Rookie Division:  This is a Flag league for pre-k – 1st graders

Division II (D2):    This is an Advanced Flag League for 2nd – 4th graders  (Monday Practices)

Division I (D1):     This is an Advanced Flag League for 5th – 7th graders  (Wednesday Practices)

**We will move players up or down a division if there are safety concerns for the division they should be in based on their grade.
