The 2023 Touchdown For Tots fall season will be here before you know it! We are excited to have you join us and appreciate your support.
Communication is key to ensuring the success of the league. Over the course of this season, we will be sending you emails with the information you will need this season.

Fall registration opens on May 1st, 2023, and will close on August 31st, 2023. After the initial registration deadline, late registration will open based on teams' availability and is not guaranteed. Once registration is full, we will build a waitlist and fill openings from the waitlist on a first-come, first-serve basis. 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 for late registrants or waitlist players.

Bring your own, or conveniently purchase one ONLINE for pick up on-site at the Game Day Tent for $5.
Shorts and/or pants without pockets are to be worn during all practices. If a participant wears shorts/pants with pockets, the pockets need to be taped down to prohibit a player's hand or fingers from getting caught in them when pulling flags.
Players can wear any type of plastic molded cleats or sneakers. No metal cleats allowed.
MERCHANDISE CONCERNS:

COMMON QUESTIONS:
WHEN WILL MY PLAYER(S) RECEIVE THEIR EQUIPMENT?
Once we complete putting teams together, we will send the rosters to our inventory department which will begin to pack and ship out individual equipment to each player. You should expect your Touchdown for Tots T-shirt, flag belt/flags, and any other equipment you may have purchased no later than your scheduled Meet & Greet. You must bring a mouthguard to every practice. They will be available at the field for $5 (credit card purchase only) each week.
WHEN WILL I HEAR FROM MY COACH?
We are hosting our virtual coaches meeting prior to the season on Monday, October 2nd. You should hear from your coach before the Meet & Greet on Sunday, October 8th.
WILL TOUCHDOWN FOR TOTS PARTICIPANTS PLAY ANY GAMES?
No, Tots participants do not have any scheduled games during their program. Touchdown for Tots is only a 1-hour commitment for 6 weeks. However, towards the end of the program, Tots participants will have scrimmages during their 1-hour session.
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 any time to rep their team or grab some official NFL Flag gear!
