Flag Divisions

All Flag Players will be separated into teams according to League Rules.

Flag Players must be 5 to 7 years old. Ages are as of August 1st, 2015.

7 year olds must play flag football. They cannot play Tackle Football. This is dictated by the League.

 

Flag Teams are separated into two (2) divisions

  • 5 and 6 year olds (5/6)
  • 6 and 7 year olds (6/7)
  • All new players that are 6 years old, will be placed in the 5/6 year old division
  • Any player that plays in the 6/7 division must continue to play in the 6/7 division in subsequent years.

The East Peoria JFL will attempt

  • to accomodate siblings when determining Flag Teams.
  • to keep all veteran players with the same coach each year, but reserve the right to make adjustments as needed.
  • to have the teams divided before the first practice, but reserve the right to make adjustments as needed.

 

Your Team Head Coach will contact you one week before practice begin.
