Volunteer Coaches Needed!
Volunteer coaches take on a key role for our Flag Football League. We need coaches at every grade level and having coaches from your child’s school is one of the best ways to help us keep as many children from the same school as we can. If you are interested in volunteering email jquarino@thecommunityhouse.org
Our Coaches Meeting is August 20th at 6:30pm at The Community House
How Are Teams Formed?
While we encourage a competitive spirit in all players and coaches, all league decisions are made with the best interest of the majority of children involved. We know we cannot place each child with their best friend, so we do not accept team placement requests. We do make every attempt to place children on a team with at least some of their schoolmates. The Recreation Supervisor will be responsible for selecting all teams and all final team placement decisions.
Teams will be constructed using the following criteria:
– what school they attend
– grade level (to have equal numbers of each grade on all team)
– # of years in the league
Practices
Practices are a one time a week commitment, however coaches are allowed to schedule 2 practices a week until opening game. After opening day coaches are allowed one practice per week. Volunteer coaches are responsible for choosing the practice time and location.
Game Days
1st/2nd grade and 3rd/4th grade play together on Saturdays.
5th/6th and 7th/8th grade play together on Sundays.
Games begin in September. Saturday games begin at 9:00am and Sunday games begin at 10:00am. Last game times of the day vary depending on number of teams.
