Future League, or Flag football, is for our younger players ages 5-7 who want to learn all about the game of football! Players will have the opportunity to play both offense and defense, as well as to play a game where team work is key. Families will have the opportunity to watch their kids grow into this sport and become a part of the Patriot football family!
There are no weight requirements for 5 and 6 year olds. Seven year olds may not weigh more than 65 pounds and may not turn 8 during 2008. For this season, Future players must have birthdays after 12/31/00 and before 8/1/03. A player may play three years at the Future division. Certifications and physicals are required (see Football tab for more details).
Generally, practices start the same week as contact football (July 28th) but are limited due to the age of the kids, and will usually occur in the early evening. Games are played on Saturdays. All players must use a mouthpiece and athletic supporter in all practices and games. The teams play 9 games starting in September on a modified field of 80 yards. Playoff schedule to be determined.
