You should expect to receive your NFL FLAG jersey, NFL Flag shorts, flag belt, and flags at the scheduled Meet & Greet. You must bring a mouthguard to every practice and game.
WHAT OTHER EQUIPMENT WILL MY PLAYER NEED THIS SEASON?
Whether you’re new to the sport or a seasoned professional, there are a few essential pieces every player needs. Use our Flag Football Equipment Checklist to be prepared for your next game.
WHEN WILL I HEAR FROM MY COACH?
We are hosting our virtual coaches meeting before the season on Tuesday, September 24th. You should hear from your coach the week before Meet & Greet.
WILL THERE BE ANY PRACTICES DURING THE WEEK?
We are a recreational organization on a mission to make our favorite sport accessible, inclusive, and fun for every child who wants to play. Part of this mission is only requiring a 2-hour commitment from families each week allowing them time to participate in additional activities. Therefore, hosting additional practices before the start of the season or during the season aside from the team's scheduled time on the designated day.
WE ALREADY REGISTERED BUT DID NOT ADD JERSEY LETTERING. CAN IT STILL BE ADDED?
Jersey lettering is available until the registration deadline. After the registration deadline, we no longer offer the option for jersey lettering to ensure delivery before the season begins. If interested in adding jersey lettering, please visit https://jerseyletteringguy.com/ and select your Season, State, and League, then enter your email address used for registration to find your player.
ARE THERE PLAYOFFS?
Yes, all teams will compete in the Flag Madness Playoffs in the final week of the season. The top 4 teams in each division will participate in playoffs on the last week of the season. The top 2 teams in each division will then play an additional game followed by a Championship game. All other teams will still have a game scheduled for the last week of the season.
