The 2024 football season is just around the corner!
Flag Division (Formerly U8 Tackle)
We learned a lot last season when it comes to flag football. Mostly when it comes to ages of players. Football is a complicated sport and there is a big difference between 1st graders and 3rd graders.
This year, numbers permitting, we are going to have two divisions. We are going to run and introduction clinic for kindergarten and 1st graders. It is going to be the same as our clinic for all our other sports. It will be 1 day a week for 6 weeks and the fee is $50. It will start with basic skills, then we’ll move on to mini games.
The Flag Football Division Will NOT have a pre-season camp. They will have an assessment day prior to the start of their season; however, it will not be during Tackle Camp. This division will begin on August 19th.
Cost for the Flag football clinic is $50 and will start on Wed. September 4th.
Cost for Flag Football 2nd-3rd will be $100.00. Teams will practice up to 2x per week.
All of this is subject to change. Due to the declining participation in kids playing sports we must adapt to what works best for the total number of participants we have.
We as an organization always try to ensure a fair, successful experience for everyone. To this end, we reserve the right to suggest that some players who have exceptional size and or ability be placed in a division above their chronological age. If your player fits into this category, a coach may speak to you at camp. For example, a fourth grader who has played for several years and is large for his/her age may be asked to play up. The same would be said for a novice player who is smaller than usual and on the younger side of the age group. This player may be allowed to play down.

Players need to be present because they will be trying on and taking all of their equipment with them that day. Make sure your son is wearing underwear or compression shorts. The pants should be tight and you will not get the correct fit if they are trying them on over boxers or shorts.
Final payment is due when you pick up equipment.

For safety reasons, all players must attend at least 10 hours of training camp before they can participate in full contact. We will be offering 2 weeks of camp that will run from Aug 5th–Aug 15th, Monday- Thursday.
