Objectives of Flag Football

The main objectives at these age levels are:

1. That the players learn good sportsmanship.
2. That the players learn the fundamentals of the game of football.
3. That the players learn the value of team work and commitment
4. Most of all the players have fun.

The primary objective is not winning. Character building, sportsmanship, and learning the fundamentals will be stressed throughout the season. The main goal should be to have all the players want to come back and play again next year.

Coaches

The coaches are volunteers who want to help out the best they can. Many of them are busy with work, travel and family and can not always be there for every game practice and game. That is why they will need help in some way this season.

Players and Positions
The players will experience playing a variety of positions this year (both on offence and defense). However, there may be times when you feel your child is not playing enough or is not playing a certain position enough. While these feelings are common, especially in Football, please keep in mind that the coaches face many challenges. Dealing with players whom differ in age, maturity and ability can be quite difficult. It is important to stay somewhat competitive and not put a child in a situation that they are unprepared or uncomfortable and then become discouraged.

Flag Football Rules
Please become familiar with the rules so you understand what penalties will and will not be called.

Referees

Whatever happens, the referees should not be verbally harassed by the players or spectators.

Equipment
Please make sure your child has a mouth piece and cleats at every practice and game.

Commitment

We all know how families get busy, schedules fill up and at times you may encounter scheduling conflicts. However, please make every effort to bring your child to every practice and game as they are mandatory. We only have X amount of players and must field 11. With a few scheduling conflicts and illness we can easily be down to less than 11 and may have to forfeit the game.

Remember it's only a game
Feel free to talk to the coaches if you don't understand something. Waiting 24 hours before you make comments to a coach after a gmae is a good rule of thumb to follow. Sometimes a brief chat with a coach can avoid any potential misunderstandings, ill feeling, etc. CHEER LOUDLY for your players. Most of all they are children and need you to be positive and affirming.
