Flag-football Information

      Tell Me All About It

Football just might be the most popular sport for kids to play and watch others play. We are excited about bringing a child-friendly version of football to Needville. By offering flag football we hope to ease parent's concern over the danger tackling presents in football. Join us for a six game season of passing and blocking fun, where all games and practices are held in Needville.

In the unique substitution system Upward Flag Football uses, each child receives equal playing time throughout the season. This system helps emphasize that we see all children as equally valuable on and off the field, and that value is not dependent upon their football skills.

When you register to play flag football with Creekside, you will find coaches who care about your child's spiritual growth as well as the growth of their flag football skills and abilities. Developing character traits, encouraging Scripture memory, and building sportsmanship skills are a high priority in our league.

All players are required to complete one evaluation. Evaluations help us to create teams of even skill and ability to help every child have the best opportunity for success throughout the season.

Your child will practice one night a week, for one hour (except for four and five year olds who will practice on Game Day, not a separate night of the week). Game Day is Saturday, and each game will last one hour. See flag football schedule for specific dates of game days, and check back once the season has started for your child's team schedule.

Four and Five year olds who play flag football will practice for the first thirty minutes of game day, then they will have their team devotion, and the last thirty minutes will be the actual game.
Early registration cost for all players is $65 and $85 after early registration ends.
