Moorestown Youth Flag Football League
2018 Fall Season
Welcome to the Moorestown Youth Flag Football League (MYFFL). The league continues to grow and this year we expect to have over 800 children enrolled. This letter is intended to answer some of the basic questions about the league. We hope that our league brings you and your children a season of thrills, camaraderie, and football fun!
What is the leagues’ mission?
The Moorestown Youth Flag Football League is a community-based private non-profit recreation program for boy’s and girl’s grade one through twelve to become involved in a non-contact football program. The league’s goal is to provide a fun experience learning football fundamentals for for all participants while incorporating values of teamwork, responsibility, and sportsmanship.
Who is eligible to play in the league?
Enrollment in the league is open to boys and girls who live, or attend a school full-time located, in Moorestown, NJ. Registration is conducted on the league's website during a specific period of time each year. This year regular registration period is between April 13th and June 16th. Late registration may be available based on availability thru 6/30. Registering during any registration period is subject to space being available on teams.
Is the league very competitive?
Although kids and adults alike are committed and passionate about the game, the league’s primary focus is to provide a fun and educational environment for the kids of Moorestown to play football. The kids are given the opportunity to play any position they want and do not have assigned positions. Every kid plays every game and the coaches work to ensure an equal distribution of the football.
Are the teams organized by age?
The league is organized by grade. The kids in each grade are organized into teams and play against each other. Based upon league enrollment, some grades will be combined so that enough teams can be created. In all grades, the league attempts to create balanced teams so that the kids have a fun and exciting season. For our 2018 season we expect to have 6 coed leagues for 1st thru 6th grades and separate boys and girls leagues for middle school (7-8th grades) and high school (9-12th grades) students.
Can my child be placed on a team with their friends?
We try to accommodate such requests for our 1st grade league, but for 2nd thru 8th grades we try to distribute players to balance teams so every team is competitive leading to more fun for all players. Our high school leagues are more flexible and again may allow for friends to play together on the same team.
What is the league calendar and when are games and practices?
This year, the season runs from the week after Labor Day until the weekend before Thanksgiving. Games are played each week and weekend during the season with only weekends off expected during teachers convention week. Here is a link to our 2018 Game and Practice Schedule:
