Flag Football is a non-contact version of football, allowing for skill development and fun. All teams and leagues are co-ed and take place on Sunday mornings in Boston from September-November. The league is open to children city-wide and we've welcomed teams and players from all neighborhoods of Boston.

All divisions (Junior through Pro) will run 30 minute team practices before playing 60 minute leagues games.

The season will run the first Sunday after Labor Day through the start of November and teams will have a chance to practice together and compete in games each week.
