About This Activity
Description
PLAYERS SHOULD BE IN THE 6TH GRADE IN FALL 2024 FOR THIS LEAGUE. Questions? Email kcrane@chicorec.gov.
Registration availability in all leagues is limited based on the number of staff/volunteers that are available and facility space. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis and will close on 8/19/24 or when the league fills- whichever comes first.
Embrace the spirit of autumn with football fever! Dive into our lively, recreational 7v7 flag football league where teams not only hone their fundamentals and technique but also delve into a new "Word of the Week," spotlighting essential life skills nurtured through youth sports. Our mission goes beyond creating exceptional athletes; we aim to cultivate outstanding individuals, fostering character growth alongside sporting prowess.
Each team will have one practice a week on Mondays, and one game a week at DeGarmo Park (game day varies by division). General youth sports jerseys are required and can be purchased at the CARD office for $17. Each team will have a 6-game regular season guarantee (6th grade and up will include an end-of-season tournament starting on game 6. No end-of-season tournament for 5th grade and below.)
Teams will be loosely based on grade and where players attend school. Genders will be combined for flag football. All teams will be formed at the discretion of CARD staff and if necessary, skills evaluations.
