Flag Football Game Schedule 2023

Spotsylvania Parks and Recreation Department offers Flag Football for age 6 and 7 for Spotsylvania County residents. November 1, 2023, is the age determination date. The registration fee is $55 per child.

This league will be an instructional league to prepare for future contact leagues. This league is a non-contact league. Due to flag football being an instructional league, no cheerleader will be assigned to the flag football league.

Practices & Games

Practices will begin in early August. Games will be played Saturdays beginning in late August and continuing through October. Coaches will contact players by August 9, 2023 as to which team they are on and when the first practice will be.  Teams will practice two times a week and one weekend day. Once games start, teams will practice one day a week with one game on Saturday. (maximum of 2 meetings within a 7 day week.)
