FLAG FOOTBALL LEAGUE
Rochester Area FCA Youth Flag Football League is for boys and girls in grades 1–8 (Fall 2026) who want to develop their football skills, grow through teamwork, and build strong character.

Weather Policy
FCA Sports League activities will be held in a variety of weather conditions, including colder temperatures, rain, and snow. Because our schedule and field availability do not allow for make-up practices or games, we will make every effort to play as scheduled whenever conditions are safe.
In the event of severe or unsafe weather, FCA Sports League staff will make the decision regarding cancellations. Families will be notified by email by 4:00 PM if flag football activities are canceled. Please do not contact coaches or league staff asking if practices or games will be canceled prior to that time, as weather and field conditions are continually being evaluated throughout the day.
Coaches are not permitted to cancel practices or games independently. All cancellation decisions will be communicated directly by FCA Sports League staff.
Participants are encouraged to dress appropriately for the weather by wearing layers, warm clothing, rain gear, and other weather-appropriate attire as needed.
League Staff
Practices and games are coached by volunteer parents as well as college and high school athletes.
Cancelation policy
Participants who cancel their registration prior to the registration deadline are eligible for a full refund. Cancellations made after the registration deadline will be refunded minus a $50 non-refundable administrative fee.
