Congratulations to Coach Falcone and Coach Callahan and the 9u Jax PAL flag football team for winning the 2024 NFL Flag Jaguars Regional Tournament and earning a spot in the 2024 NFL Flag National Championship Tournament.  Canton, Ohio.....Here We Come!    

Flag Football is for youth ages 5 - 18 (if 18, must be enrolled in high school)

Flag football is a variant of American football where, instead of tackling players to the ground, the defensive team must remove a flag or flag belt from the ball carrier to end a down.

NFL FLAG is a natural entry point into the world of football, creating opportunities for your child to learn, engage and grow with the game.

Age Groups are as follows:

6U (5-6), 8U (7-8), 10U (9-10), 12U (11-12), 14U (13-14), 18U (15-18) - (if 18, must be in enrolled in high school)

Age cutoff is August 1st, 2024. However old the athlete is on August 1st, 2024, will be the age division that they will be eligible for.  (Ex: If a player is 10 years old on Aug 1st, 2024, they will be eligible for the 10u age division. If they turn 11 on Aug 1st, 2024, they must play in the 12u age division). 

Each participant will receive an official NFL team logo high performance reversible jersey and an NFL flag belt. 

Parents must purchase cleats (no metal cleats), athletic shorts (no pockets) and a mouthpiece.
