Overview of League:
FLAG Flag Football is a recreational football (American football)
club. We play on Saturday mornings in the Fall and Spring. All
skill levels are encouraged to participate. We play with flags
and try to minimize contact. The goal of the group is both social
and to provide a comfortable and fun setting for those who enjoy
playing flag football.
Our playing year is divided into two seasons:
Fall Season:
The Fall season starts just after Labor Day weekend and continues through mid-November. After a morning of open play, everyone is drafted onto one of twelve teams. Official play begins with a "Pre-Season" day of practice against other teams, followed by seven weeks of competitive play. The Fall season ends with a day of Playoffs and the Super Fabulous Bowl. Last year, we had more than 150 people playing in the Fall season.
Spring Season:
The Spring season is less structured, with open-play occurring on Saturday's from late-March through mid-May. These games are more relaxed, enabling players to keep in the game and try out some new moves.
Mission Statement:
FLAG (Friends, Lesbians and Gays) Flag Football seeks to promote
the positive social and athletic enjoyment of American Flag Football.
Through our league, our events and most importantly our members,
we also seek to foster and augment the self-respect of GLBTQA
(Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning and Allied)
persons and to engender respect and understanding from the larger
community.
While particular emphasis is placed on these specific goals,
it is a fundamental principle of FLAG Flag Football that all activities,
social and athletic, are conducted to be inclusive in nature and
that no individual shall be excluded from participating on the
basis of sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, race, religion,
nationality, ethnic origin, political beliefs, athletic ability,
physical challenge, or HIV status.
