WHEN WILL I HEAR FROM MY COACH?
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 before the start of the season or during the season aside from the team's scheduled time on the designated day.
ARE THERE PLAYOFFS?
Yes, all teams will compete in the Flag Madness Playoffs in the final week of the season. The top 4 teams in each division will participate in playoffs on the last week of the season. The top 2 teams in each division will then play an additional game followed by a Championship game. All other teams will still have a game scheduled for the last week of the season.
