DIVISIONS

- Our K-1 program plays in house. Meaning we don’t travel to other towns. Practices will be Friday nights starting at the beginning of September (the school year) and games will Sunday mornings at the Ernie George field.
2nd Grade
- We begin to travel and compete against other towns in our league in 2nd grade. We play a 8 week schedule, with 4 home games played at the Ernie George Field and 4 away games (subject to the league participants). Practices are 1-2 nights a week at the coach’s discretion.
EQUIPTMENT
Each child will receive a uniform (jersey and shorts) to keep, and flags to use.
VISION

COACHING FLAG FOOTBALL
The primary function of a FYFC Coach is making sure kids have fun while they learn foundational life skills, athletic fundamentals and core values. Youth Football Coaches must effectively manage team communications with players and their families, and collaborate and cooperate with each other regarding strategy, practice planning, game planning, and playing time.
