Youth NFL Flag Football

Arlington Youth NFL Flag Football is part of the National Football League’s official flag football program that allows boys and girls to play non-contact flag football in a fast paced and exciting environment. Arlington is home to one of the largest programs in the nation and is entering our 20th year with over 1,400 registrants for the 2023 season.

You can learn more about NFL FLAG by visiting http://www.nflflag.com/ or register below.

Practices and Games

Practices will be held twice a week on weeknights/weekends and begin the week of August 19th.

Games will be held on Saturdays and/or Sundays beginning September 7th and concluding by November 3th. Games will be held on Columbus Day Weekend. Games are not planned to be scheduled on Veterans Day Weekend (11/9-11/10).

Team practices and games will take place at Kenmore MSFt. BarnardQuincy ParkBarcroft ParkBluemont ParkWakefield H.S., and Washington-Liberty H.S.

Equipment

Provided for the 2024 season are sublimated jerseys, flag belts and footballs. NFL youth blue football (Wilson Pee Wee/K2) is used for grades 1-5. NFL youth brown football (Wilson Junior/TDY) is used for grades 5-12. Mouth guards are required. Cleats are optional (metal cleats are prohibited).

Volunteer Coaches

Volunteer Coaches are the lifeblood of our programs. We simply would not be able to operate our youth sport leagues such as this Youth Flag Football League without the hundreds of parents, family members, friends and community leaders who volunteer their time to promote youth sports in Arlington. 

The only way to ensure your child’s team has a volunteer coach is to have someone volunteer specifically for your child’s team. Find a trusted adult (ex. Family member, pastor, community leader, teacher), or have a high school aged minor along with a trusted adult coach your team. Each team needs 2-4 volunteers. DPR will provide support and give resources to new coaches. Prospective volunteer coaches do not need to have any prior coaching experience. It is a time commitment of about 2-3 hours per week.
