YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS & WE'VE GOT ANSWERS!!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

We know the world of flag football can be a confusing one. We have put together a list of commonly asked questions that we hope you find helpful as you continue your journey with us this season. 


Q: Who Can Play?


A: Sunflower NFL Flag is open to Boys and Girls. K through 11th Grade.

 

Q: How are Individual Players Placed on Teams?


A: This is a league designed to keep schoolmates and friends playing together. Therefore, individuals are placed on teams determined by school, a buddy request, grade and age factors. Our goal is for each elementary and middle school to have their own flag football teams. Teams are formed using a combination of the following criteria (listed in no specific order):
-School affiliation
-Current Grade/Age
-A Buddy Request
-Coach Request

Most teams will have 8-10 players. If there are more than 12 players registered in the same grade/age division at the same school, those players will be divided into multiple "School" teams and then the remaining spots could be filled with players from other schools.

 

Q: What are the Grade Divisions?


A: K thru 11th Grade.

 

Q: If my child and his/her classmates do not have enough players to form a team?


A: No worries! We will always try to keep classmates together but if needed we will combine players from other schools to form your team for the season.

 

Q: How are the divisions determined?


A: All divisions are determined by final registration numbers. Divisions will be paired with another age group either above or below your players age group, if not enough players in the age division to support individual divisions.

A: It depends. We will not turn any players away. As many teams that can be formed from each school by grade/age division will be accepted. Everyone who wants to play is welcome.

A: Most teams have approximately 10 players. However, we do reserve the right to stretch these guidelines if the league deems necessary.

MOJO makes it easier than ever for Parents that are interested in coaching, but don't have any experience.
