North Bay NFL Flag: Season Operations -
1. North Bay NFL Flag Football Season: The North Bay NFL Flag season runs from March thru May with an 7 games regular season plus playoffs. Player Evaluations are held during the month of January to better provide balanced rosters and more competitive games.
2. Age Based Organization: NFL Flag is an aged-based program. This ensures better balance as sometimes kids are up in higher grades or in lower grades for various reasons. Age based with two year playing divisons keeps the program more balanced and competitive.. We do not allow participants to 'play down' at any level.
3. Practice/Game Schedule: One of the best parts about North Bay NFL Flag is that ALL practices and games are on the SAME DAY - there is only a 2-hour commitment each week. Practice take place one hour prior to a participant's scheduled game time.
4. Game Play: NFL Flag is a 5 versus 5, NON-CONTACT Program. The field length is 50-yards long - up to 4 games operate simultaneously on the same regulation football field.
5. Student-Athletes/Mentor Coaches: All teams are assigned a local-area high school student-athlete as a Mentor Coach to their respective team. Parent volunteers are the Heach Coach and our Student/Mentor coach is to ASSIST our Head Coaches, while developing their coaching skills.
5. NFL Uniforms: All players receive a high quality NFL Flag uniform that includes both a Reversible Game Jersey and game day shorts. All players will be fitted for their unirform during evaluations. Uniforms will be distrbuted during NFL Flag Fest! Flag belts are also included. Molded Cleats are required.
6. Player Evaluations: All Player will participate in player evaluations during the month of January to help us better balance rosters for the season. Every player will be evaluated in passing, catching, and running skills. They will be scored on a scale of 1 - 5 (5 being the higest) and will be given an average skill score. A Rostering system will be used to balance rosters based on skill scores. Schools (for better carpooling) & Buddy Request are also taken into consideration.
