Mid-winter registration opens October 7th, 2023 and closes December 17th, 2023 for Palm City with remaining locations closing January 1st, 2024. After the registration deadline, late registration is based upon availability and is not guaranteed. A $10.00 increase in registration will apply and you will be placed on any team that has openings in your grade division. Buddy and Coach requests are less likely to be met during late registration. Once registration is full, we will build a waitlist and fill openings from the waitlist on a first come, first serve basis.

COMMON QUESTIONS:
WHEN WILL MY PLAYER(S) RECEIVE THEIR EQUIPMENT?
Once we complete putting teams together, we will ship the rosters to our inventory department who will begin to pack and ship out individual equipment to each player. You should expect your NFL FLAG jersey, flag belt, and any other equipment you may have purchased no later than your scheduled Meet & Greet. You must bring a mouth guard to every practice and game. They will be available at the field for $5 each week.
WHAT OTHER EQUIPMENT WILL MY PLAYER NEED THIS SEASON?
Whether you’re new to the sport or a seasoned professional, there are a few essential pieces every player needs. Use our Flag Football Equipment Checklist to be prepared for your next game.
WHEN WILL I HEAR FROM MY COACH?
We are hosting our virtual coaches meeting prior to the season. You should hear from your coach the week before Meet & Greet.
WILL THERE BE ANY PRACTICES DURING THE WEEK?
We are a recreational organization on a mission to make our favorite sport accessible, inclusive, and fun for every child who wants to play. Part of this mission is only requiring a 2 hour commitment from families each week, allowing them time to participate in additional activities. Therefore, hosting additional practices prior to the start of the season or during the season aside from the scheduled times on the designated day.
WE ALREADY REGISTERED BUT DID NOT ADD JERSEY LETTERING. CAN IT STILL BE ADDED?
Jersey lettering is available until the registration deadline. After the registration deadline, we no longer offer the option for jersey lettering to ensure delivery before the season begins. If interested in adding jersey lettering, please visit https://jerseyletteringguy.com/ and select your Season, State, and League, then enter your email address used for registration to find your player.
WE WOULD LIKE TO ADD SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL MERCHANDISE AFTER WE COMPLETED THE REGISTRATION BUT THE OPTIONS ARE NO LONGER SHOWING. CAN WE STILL PURCHASE ANY OF THOSE ITEMS?
Once the registration has been completed, the optional merchandise can not be added to the initial order, however, families are welcome to shop our NFL Flag Fan Shop at anytime to rep their team or grab some official NFL Flag gear!
ARE THERE PLAYOFFS?
For our Madden divisions only (4th grade and up). The top 4 teams in each Madden division will participate in playoffs the last week of the season. The top 2 teams will then play an additional game the same day for the Championship. All other divisions (3rd grade & under) will not have playoffs.
