Football FAQs
The season begins August 1.
Registration for 2024 is now open through the end of August or when teams become filled.
Early registrations received before May 31 will guarantee a player’s name on their jersey. Athletes can choose their game numbers on a first-come-first-served-basis.
We do all of our registrations through our Blue Sombrero site. Find out more information on registration HERE.
Flag football registration is FREE. Tackle football registration is $75. For flag and tackle divisions, an additional $100 is required for the purchase of raffle tickets for a single athlete, $150 for 2 or more athletes.
Each participant is responsible for $100 worth of raffle tickets for a single athlete, $150 for 2 or more. These raffle tickets will be raffled off for a cash prize at our annual Parent’s Night Out in September. Families must pay for their raffle tickets upfront. With each ticket sold, the family recoups that money and is theirs to keep. If you sell them all, you will regain all the raffle ticket money you paid.
Our football program can accept players ages 4 through 14 (child’s age as of August 1).
Beginning August 1 until school starts, practices will be Monday through Thursday from 6:00-8:00 PM. After school starts, practices will go down to two days a week, typically Tuesday and Thursday 6:00-7:30 PM. All practices are held at our practice field on HERE, at Moyers Road.
Games are mostly played on Saturdays and sometimes Sundays either at our home field (5th street park) or at an opponent’s field within the Bux-Mont region.
Regular Season: There are usually 8 or 9 regular season games which run through the end of October/beginning of November. We typically have four or five home games, and the rest are away.
Post Season: After the regular season games are over, there are Conference playoffs for the competitive teams with the best record in their division (this does not apply to flag or Tiny Mites). If a team wins the Conference Championship, they then go on to play in the Regional playoffs, and if they continue to win, at the end is the Regional Championship game.
