We have put together a list of commonly asked questions that we hope you find helpful as you continue your journey with us this season. 

Q: Who Can Play?
A: This program is open to Boys and Girls, 8 years of age (as of the registration deadline date) - 10th grade. Participants from any city can register for any of our programs. 

Q: How are Individual Players Placed on Teams?
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. 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 8-10 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: If my child and his/her classmates do not have enough players to form a team? 
A: No worries! We will always try to keep classmates together but if needed we will combine players from other schools to form your team for the season. 

Q: Do we 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: How many teams can one school have?

A: It depends. We will not turn any players away. As many teams that can be formed from each school by grade/age division will be accepted. Everyone who wants to play is welcome. 

Q: How many players are on a team?

A: Most teams have 8-10 players. However, we do reserve the right to stretch these guidelines if the league deems necessary. 

Q: Can the team have additional practices during the week?

A: All families have committed to a single practice and game each week. 

Q: Where will all the practices/games be held at?

A: All Games and Practices will be same day and held at Del Oro High School. Practice will be held an hour before game.

Q: Does the league supply uniforms?

A: Every Flag Football player in our program receives an NFL reversible team jersey, Game Day shorts and a flag belt to keep with your registration.
