League Information

 
 

THE BASICS:

NFL FLAG Football is sponsored by the NFL. South Bay Football League is an independent operator who operates flag football leagues for adults and kids.

NFL FLAG is a 5-on-5, No-Contact game that emphasizes passing receiving, defending and good sportsmanship. Each player receives an NFL Logo Jersey and flag belt. The Winter Season begins December 10th/11th with Training Camp Day activities. At that time we will confirm registration, assess skills, identify coaches and answer parents questions. The season includes 8 games so there will be doubleheaders if we are to finish the season in time.

Each team will have between 6-8 players who will rotate through the roster.

We want all the players to get equal opportunity to play. With possibly two games a day, the kids are going to get a lot of exercise.

GAME DAY FORMAT:

With practices on the same day as the game, the process is a little different than what you may be used to. On Game Day teams assemble at the training area at their practice start time for warm-ups, drills, or any non game activities like jerseys pick ups and team photos. Coaches are asked to have their teams prepared and ready to begin by the SESSION start time shown on the schedule.

WEEKLY UPDATE:

We send updates each week between Tuesday morning and Thursday night. This will be our main form of communication along with this web site, www.southbayfootball. We provide status and updates on various topics, notify you of changes and upcoming activities plus highlight areas where we need your support. Please be sure to review the information thoroughly each week as it will save you time understanding what is going on. Of course, we are always available by phone.

We hope that this covers most of your initial questions about this season's operations. We are happy to answer any question you have at any time. You can reach us at:

Our Philosophy:

Our philosophy is simple; it's all about the kids! We want them to be safe, to develop their football skills, develop life skills and have fun.

Our directors, coaches, trainers and officials will be focused on ensuring safety throughout league play, instructing our players in effective football techniques and assist them in overcoming adversity as every game will inevitably have a winner and a loser.

While we provide competitive environment for the kids to play in, in the end we want every child to be a winner! Parents and fans are encouraged to do all they can to support this goal.
