🏈 The Difference Between Recreational & Competitive Flag Football Leagues 🏈
At California Football Academy (CFA), we offer two distinct flag football leagues to ensure every young athlete has the experience they’re looking for on the field. Whether a player seeks high-level competition or a fun, skill-building environment, we have the perfect league for them! There will still be Playoffs and Championships in both the Recreational and Competitive divisions.
🏆 Competitive League
Our Competitive Division is designed for experienced athletes who are ready to take their game to the next level. This division is NOT open to everyone—players must earn a roster spot by having been pre-selected by a coach. Recommended at least 1 season of experience in either tackle, flag, or 7v7 football.
🚨 Competitive League Requirements:
✔️ No Friend Requests – Teams are formed based on skill and not personal preferences.

This division is for serious players who want to compete at a high level and develop their skills, strategy, and teamwork.
