Get your questions answered here!

1.  How much does it cost to play flag football?

     Answer:  The registration cost is the same as for tackle football.
                   We have an early registration fee, normal registration fee
                   and a late registration fee that is significantly more! 
                   Our registration fee includes the cost of your custom jersey,
                   mouthpiece and flag belt use.  Continue to look to the
                   website for additional information on the cost.

2.  Who are the coaches of the flag football teams?

      Answer:  All of our coaches are volunteers that normally have
                    children playing on the team or within the league.  All
                    of our coaches must be certified through the league
                    and all are members of the NYSCA which is our coaching
                    resource.  Each coach is required to sign and agree to
                    uphold the high coaching ethics that NYSCA sets for our
                    youth.

3.  Can my child be hurt playing flag football?

     Answer:  Our flag football teams do not wear pads for protection as it
                   is a non-contact sport.  We realize that kids will be kids
                   and keeping the occasional bump or bruise from 
                   happening is virtually impossible but we supervise your  
                   child and commit to minimizing any significant injuries
                   while participating in the DAYFL.  You child will have a
                   very enjoyable time while participating in flag football.

4.  When and where do they practice for games?

      Answer:  For the most part, your practice times and locations are
                    left up to your head coach.  Our league policy is to be
                    notified of all practice locations as well as expected dates
                    and times of practices.  Our policy also directs each coach
                    to not exceed 6 hours of practice each week.  We also will
                    not be practicing on game days(saturday) or on sundays.  
                    The majority of head coaches like to find practice areas that
                    are close to where all families live or a common area where
                    it is convenient to meet for your practice.  Your coach will
                    try to work with you but he must fit practices into his or
                    her schedule as well.

5.  Tell me about the games on saturday?

      Answer:  Games are held at the North Lakes Athletic Facility for   
                    Football.  We currently have 3 football fields that we play
                    on each saturday.  The games for flag will normally be held
                    on saturday morning starting at 8 or 9 am.  We try to get
                    our flag games completed by 10am in the morning as
                    tackle football takes up the majority of the day after 10am. 
                    See - you will still be able to have a saturday to yourself
                    after all!

6.  How is my child rewarded for participation?

     Answer:  The DAYFL rewards all participants at the end of
                    the season.  This reward normally comes in the form of a 
                    participant trophy and the team has a party as well.  Your 
                    coaches and team mom will continually keep you updated
                    as to the goings on of your team.  The coaches provide
                    rewards for the kids throughout the season as well.
