NFL Youth Flag Football

Arlington NFL Youth 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 16th year with over 1,000 registrants for the 2020 season.

Equipment

Jerseys, flag belts and footballs are provided. 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.
