The Developmental League includes 7 practices and 6 games, featuring 5 versus 5 matches that are non-contact, recreational, and co-ed. To ensure maximum playing time, we aim to keep teams to 10-12 players. This program is perfect for first-time players who want to learn the fundamentals of football, as well as for those looking to improve their skills before moving on to the Elite Leagues or tackle football. There are no tryouts required—everyone is welcome to participate!
Games will be scheduled on Sundays between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Practices will be held one hour before game time each week, ensuring a convenient and enjoyable experience for all participants. Game schedules will be created and posted 1 to 2 weeks before the season begins. Please note that game times may vary from week to week, and minor schedule adjustments may be made after the initial posting.
Participants will receive a reversible NFL FLAG jersey and flag belt, which they can keep! All 32 NFL Clubs will be represented. Please refer to the NFL FLAG Sizing Chart to select the correct uniform size. Additionally, all participants are required to wear a mouthguard and shorts/pants with no pockets during practices and games for safety. Jersey, flag belt, and any other merchandise purchased during registration will be distributed at the Meet & Greet. Please note that a $12.99 shipping fee will be added to each participant's registration.
For the 5U, 6U, and 8U divisions (Lombardi and Shula), participants will receive individual participation awards at the end of the season. In the 10U, 12U, and 14U divisions (Madden), teams will compete in playoff games on the last day of the season, with 1st and 2nd place teams receiving awards.
Our Developmental League relies on volunteer parents to coach our teams! Each team will be assigned up to 3 volunteers. We encourage all parents who are interested in volunteering to sign up during the registration process. Available positions include Head Coach, Assistant Coach, and Team Manager. No prior experience is necessary. We will provide various resources, along with a comprehensive meeting for coaches, to ensure that all volunteers have a fun and successful season! Please note that all volunteers may not be assigned to their child's roster and must pass a background check before being assigned to a team.
