Q: With there being no Open Tournaments, will there be 9u, 11u, and 13u age divisions at Regional Tournaments?
A: No, NFL FLAG will not have these divisions in 2022.
Q: I don’t see where to register my co-ed team. What should I do?
A: If your age division does not specify the gender with it (ex: 12u Girls), it is a co-ed division. Co-ed divisions can consist of boys and girls, all boys or all girls.
Q: What qualifies a team as a Recreation Team?
A: A Recreation Team must be a Boys and Girls Club, YMCA, JCC (Jewish Community Center), PAL (Police Athletic League), or a Park and Recreation NFL FLAG Program. New this year, we will also allow a full team from an NFL FLAG League to participate in the Rec division. This roster may not be adjusted from league play and must be confirmed with your League Organizer in order to register. All Star teams and combined rosters are prohibited. Violation of this rule could result in disqualification of tournament play and championship play for the remainder of the calendar season.
Q: Can my all-girls team play in any regional tournament?
A: Yes, all girls’ divisions are able to travel and play in any regional tournament, within your borders.
