NFL Flag at Cardinal Stadium

This is a 5 vs. 5, non-contact, recreational, co-ed league for children as young as 4 years old (Pre-Kindergarten) to 14 years old (8th Grade). We limit teams to 10 players or fewer to maximize playing time. This is an exceptional program for first time players who want to learn the fundamentals of football, and at the same time our league is also a wonderful opportunity for players who may want to continue to enhance their fundamentals and agility.

*MAX SPECIAL REQUEST = 6 Players

There are no try-outs and everyone participates! Children are placed on teams according to school, grade, and coach/buddy request. We do our best to make sure teams are even and good competition takes place each week.

This is a 6 game season with games played Sundays and a 1 Day Single Elimination Tournament at the end of the season. Practices take place one hour prior to game time each week to ensure a convenient and fun experience for all.

ROOKIE = Pre-Kindergarten & Kindergartners (12:00 pm Practice/1:00 pm Games)

PRO = First & Second Graders (1:00 pm Practice/2:00 pm Games)
