Flag Football

 

Our Co-ed Flag Football program consists of recreational play for children from 7 – 13 years old. Our Flag Football program is designed to teach and develop a player’s skills while incorporating a positive Christian influence through weekly devotional moments at practice. The cost to register for this league is $100. The program includes weeknight practices and seven games from September 13th to October 25th. This is a perfect group for beginners to Flag Football.

Practices and Games

Each team will hold one practice a week during a weeknight and will compete against another team every Saturday morning. The first week of practice will be the week of September 2nd.

There will be seven Saturday game days, starting September 13th, and ending October 25th.

We typically host our games between 8:30 am and 1:00 pm and the time of the game may vary from week to week depending on the scheduling needs for the season. Some age groups may have a consistent schedule each week while others may have variety in their game schedule.

We host practices one day per week and we schedule the practice according to the availability you put in your registration form. We will do our best to assign your child to a team that practices on a day that works for your schedule, but the number of teams we have depends on how many volunteer coaches are available. Our practice times are either from 5:00 to 6:15 pm or 6:15 pm to 7:30 on either Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.

Location

All of our games and practices are held on the fields at The Shepherd’s Church at 6051 Tryon Road, Cary NC

Team Placement Requests

We allow a maximum of two requests for children registering for our league. Please note that we cannot guarantee all teammate or coach requests and we may not honor a request if it creates an imbalance in the league or if we are unable to make the necessary scheduling accommodations to have players play on the same team. All teammate requests must be included in the registration form to ensure that they are included in the teambuilding process. We won’t be able to accommodate teammate requests made after the team rosters are finalized.

Crossroads Sports is an outreach ministry of The Shepherd’s Church, designed specifically to serve families of The Shepherd’s Church, as well as those who are not currently connected to a church.

To stay focused on this mission, registration is limited. If you attend a like-minded Evangelical Church, we humbly ask that you do not register. If you do not have a church of your own, you are welcome to register. To learn more about our church, visit Shepherds.org.

We’re grateful for your understanding and support as we seek to share the love of Christ with our local community.
