Flag football
participants have no evaluations and we attempt to keep players on a team from
their school or neighborhood as is possible.
We always need head coaches in Flag
leagues. Please consider volunteering
for your son’s team.
ALL
3RD-6TH GRADERS MUST ATTEND ONE OF THE ANNOUNCED REGISTRATION/SKILLS ASSESSMENTS
HELD ON JUNE 13 OR JULY 11. OYAA Football strives to have evenly matched
teams and the assessment process makes the selection of teams fair and
consistent. Only a head coach and
ONE assistant can request to be paired together. Siblings are also placed on
the same team. NO other same team request will be honored to assure fair and
equitable player distribution. Grade levels are separated into east and west
divisions so practices will be close and carpool partners will be
available.
For the 2010 season, the fee is $80.00 for 1st and 2nd graders in flag football.
Players will receive shorts, team jersey, socks and a mouth guard. We will
play 9 on 9 (numbers permitting) with 12-14 players per team. OYAA Football is
in need of volunteers to assist with Flag Football administration.
For the 2010 season, the fee is $150.00 for 3rd through

can keep.. There will be separate 3rd, 4th, 5th
and 6th grade leagues. Team rosters will have 16-18
players. Ball-carrying weight limits are 80 lbs. for 3rd, 90 lbs for
4th, 120 lbs. in 5th and 130 lbs. in the 6th grade league. OYAA
