Flag Football
Reservoir and Clinton Branches offer fall flag football (Ages 5 yr. - 14 yr.)
Your child will learn the skills and rules to play the game and how to be a team player. The participants will be grouped according to their age. The playing season starts November 17th, 2024, and runs through January 19, 2025. Each season includes 7 games and a championship playoff Sunday. The practices and games are held on Sundays from 1-5 PM.
The teams are coached by volunteers, usually parents. Each child will receive a jersey with their team name and will be given playing time.
The cost for members is $80 per child and for non-members is $120 per child. Anyone can register by stopping by the branch.
Questions?
What equipment does my child need?
Your child needs athletic clothing, shoes, and a water bottle! The Y will provide jerseys, flags, and footballs.
What field will my child be playing on?
Your child's age and playing time will determine the field. You will be given the field map before the second game for both locations. The first week, there will be a meet and greet to get to know your team.
How are the teams determined?
The teams are determined by the following grades:
- Kindergarten- 1st grade
- 2nd grade-3rd grade
- 4th grade-5th grade
- 6th grade-8th grade
What happens if there is inclement weather?
There is an indoor option for rain and lightning. Reservoir Branch would move to the Flowood Branch, but you will be contacted prior to game day. The Clinton Branch's indoor arena is located inside the Clinton Branch. The indoor arenas require only tennis shoes to be worn, no cleats.
