2022 Fall Flag Football Signup
Junior Plainsmen Flag Football is open to Girls and Boys entering grade 1 – 4. Each team plays several games throughout the season.
GRADES 1 – 2
Players register individually. Coaches can request up to 5 of his/her child’s friends to play with on the same team. This program focuses on a laid back but fun and exciting atmosphere. This program is a fun way to learn basic fundamentals and team skills while teaching parents and children the basic motor skills associated with general athletic competition.
GRADES 3 – 4
Players participate in the Sr. Flag league by registering individually online. Coaches can request up to 5 of his/her child’s friends to play with on the same team. All players will attend an evaluation day (Combine) where their talent level is assessed. NO CUTS! Players are then placed in a draft and coaches’ forms teams by age and performance at the combine. These teams are placed in divisions to play in a 6-7-week league. Sr. Flag players will be issued a helmet to be used throughout the season. All helmets must be returned after the final game.
GRADES 4 Tackle Option*
In order for a 4th grader to be considered for tackle football, the player must be evaluated at the tackle combine by a board member.
