Age Groups (for the 2024 season):
17U – 2006 – 2008
14U – 2009 – 2010
12U – 2011 – 2012
10U – 2013 and younger

When does the season run, and how long is the commitment?
It is a five month commitment. Tryouts occur in December and January, with practices starting in early February, and tournaments beginning in March. Official training will finish in mid-June.

What does the weekly schedule look like?
Practices are twice a week. One night is position training where players will receive position specific training from specialized position coaches. The second night teams will independently work on offensive and defensive schemes specific to their team and coach.

Teams will play approximately 1-2 times a month in either league play against other local teams, or tournaments.

Tentative Schedule:
March 2 – NFL FLAG Chargers Regional
March 17 – CalFlag League Games
April 14 – CalFlag League Games
April 20/21 – HardCount Las Vegas
May 19 – CalFlag League Games
June 15/16 – HardCount San Diego
NFL FLAG Raiders Regional TBD in April

Can I play other sports while playing with the club?
There are no club restrictions on athletes playing multiple sports, but missed practices can impact playing time. We do understand that many girls are in sports and will have conflicts, especially with the sport still in its infancy with girls, and we are working on ways to help relieve some of those conflicts.

What is the format?
Teams will be coached up in a series of formats, as many tournaments have different ones. The 14U and below will focus solely on 5v5 at this point, which is still the only official format of NFL FLAG. The 17U will be coached in both the 5v5 format, and the 7v7 format which is used in high school and college.

How many players will make a team?
Teams have a roster cap of 10, and we will carry between 8-10 players per team for 14U and below.

How many teams will there be at each level?
There will be two teams at each level.

Will there be any travel?
Yes, but the tournaments that we will initially be registering for will be within driving distance in Las Vegas, San Diego, Los Angeles and possibly Arizona. Our preference is to stay as close to home as possible, but the better quality tournaments usually happen outside of the greater Los Angeles area, especially when it comes to girls.

Teams qualifying for the NFL FLAG championship will need to travel to the championship destination, which at this time is unknown for the 2024 season.

What are the playing time requirements?
There are no playing time minimums. From the club perspective if a player is rostered on one of our teams that player will play at least 1/4 of the game. We do not believe in rostering players who are practice players only. That’s not to say that playing time will be even though, as the better players will play a more significant amount of time.

What is the difference between a position coach, and the team’s head coach?
The nuances of each position are different, and very few coaches have the knowledge to coach each position at an extremely high level. Players will receive position specific training from either a QB or WR coach on the offensive side of the ball, and there will be a coach who will handle the defensive training. The head coach’s role is to handle the offensive and defensive schemes, along with the overall management of the team.
