5v5 Youth Program
2024 PRE REGISTRATION IS OPEN >> REGISTER HERE <<
Our program provides young players a fun and exciting opportunity to engage in non-contact, continuous action while learning lessons in teamwork. Players develop skills that will help them succeed on and off the field.
Location
Practice and games will be held on outdoor fields. (2024 Location TBD)
Season/League Format
Teams practice once per week for 30 minutes followed by a 45 minute game.
10 U starts at 5:30
12 U starts at 6:45
The season starts May 2024. Exact start date will be announced well in advance of the league.
The game is 5 on 5 flag football and teaches the basic and advanced skills of football. This includes running routes, passing, receiving and defending. Games involve non-contact rules that eliminate all forms of blocking and tackling. Coaches/Adults will play quarterback for 10U.
Week 1 will be a full practice and evaluation period. Every week after that will consist of a 30 minute practice and a 45 minute game. Playoff weeks will be games only.
The program is played on a 50-yard playing field where participants may run or pass the ball. Teams start at their 5-yard line and have three downs to move the ball past midfield. Once a team has crossed midfield they receive a new set of three downs to score.
Playoffs will be held on weeks 9 and 10, depending on how many teams register. Winning teams are crowned "Super Bowl" Champions.
