We are looking forward to a great season of Parkwood NFL Flag Football this fall! All registrations will be done online. If you have not created an account, you will need to do so. We will have a new Director and Volunteer Committee running the program this year, so be on the lookout for updates.
For 2024 Frank Uitz will manage the 6-8 age group, who will play their games on SUNDAY AFTERNOONS. Time is TBD but will likely be in the 1-3PM range. Games will not be at the same time as the Parkwood intramural soccer games, and we will make every attempt to schedule around the Parkwood travel soccer teams' games. Ages 9-15 will still play on Friday nights, with games starting at 6PM, 7PM, 8PM, and 9PM. We will try to get the 9-11 age group games done before 9PM. The 12-1 a5ge group should expect to have start times throughout the 7-9PM range.
When you register your child, you will be asked if you would like to volunteer at the club. We have many volunteer opportunities, including setting up and breaking down fields, kitchen duty, trash cleanup and other duties. As an all-volunteer organization, we need your help! Service opportunities for flag football are scheduled either immediately before or immediately after your child's game time. Each team has 1 volunteer duty night throughout the season. As always, we have Head and Assistant Coach volunteer opportunities. All coaches ARE REQUIRED TO TURN IN CLEARANCES before their team will receive their jerseys. Any parent who is around the children "helping" coach need clearances. If you are thinking about coaching, go ahead and get your clearances done right away. It's free for volunteers! Go to the 'volunteer central' page for all links to required clearances.
NOTE: Immediately after registering for the 2024 season, check your email for confirmation stating that you have signed-up a player for flag football. If you create a new account, you will receive an account creation confirmation email. If you sign up for volunteer work, you will receive a volunteer confirmation email. Neither of these two emails confirm that you have completed a player's registration. If you have trouble with account creation or registration, please IMMEDIATELY email the webmaster ([email protected]). We cannot help you once the age division closes! There will be "wait lists" used for all age groups that reach the maximum number of players before July 20th.
If you have any questions, please email [email protected] and we will do our best to help you. Don't wait until July 19th to reach out, by then it will be too late!
