FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How are teams formed?
A: This is a league designed to keep schoolmates and friends playing together. Therefore, individuals are placed on teams determined by school, buddy request, and grade. Our goal is for each elementary and middle school to have their own flag football teams. Teams are formed using a combination of the following criteria (listed in no specific order):
School affiliation
Current Grade/Age
Buddy Request (We try to accommodate requests however, refunds are not provided due to an unfulfilled request)
Most teams will have 8-11 players. If there are more than 12 players registered in the same grade/age division at the same school, those players will be divided into multiple "School" teams and then the remaining spots could be filled with players from other schools.
Q: Do you accept team registrations?
A: No, we use the procedure above to form teams. This ensures parity within the league and prevents stacking. Our buddy request philosophy is just that, a buddy request. This does not mean a coach can request 10 players. It is used for children to request to be placed on a team with one or two friends.
Q: Can we request our teammates?
A: Yes. The league does not guarantee that every request will be honored.
Q: What is your refund policy?
A: No refunds will be given within 30 days of the start of the season.
Q: Are there playoffs?
A: Yes. 4th-High School divisions will have playoffs. The top 4 teams in each division will participate in playoffs the last week of the season. The top 2 teams will then play an additional game the same day for the Championship. All other divisions (3rd grade & under) will not have playoffs.
Q: Does the league supply uniforms?
A: Every Flag Football player in our program receives an NFL reversible team jersey and a flag belt to keep with your registration. The only items you will need to purchase, if you do not have them, are mouth guards and shorts with no pockets. Cleats are encouraged but not required.
Q: Who are the officials?
A: Most of our referee's are High School Athletic Association certified. These are the same guys who you would find officiating local High School games.
