Welcome to OAA Football
OAA Flag Football is the place where kids can get a taste of football without the need for full pads. The teams are comprised of a Kindergarten league and a 1st /2nd grade league. The fundamentals of the game will be learned and reinforced at this level. Practices start in Early-August for all grades, and finishing prior to Halloween. The cost is $70 for early bird pricing and is $80 on 7/1 and thereafter.
When Signing your child up, please indicate the grade that your kid will be going into after the summer. This determines if they will be in the kindergarten league or the 1st/2nd grade league.
Beginning in 3rd grade, players can advance to tackle football - where full contact requires a full set of football pads, helmets and uniforms. Please see the OAA Football program for more details.
Please note that mouth guards are required and athletic cups/supporters are highly recommended and must be purchased separately.
Volunteers
The game of football is a fun time to watch your kids play and have fun. This is only possible if parents are willing to volunteer to help with the teams. The best thing that you can do to ensure that your child and the children of the flag football program can insure a quality program is to get involved and volunteer to be a coach. If this is something that interest you and you would like to volunteer to coach or to find out more about it please contact the director of your league.
Equipment
Flag Football requires that all kids have a mouth guard and athletic cup/supporters are highly recommended. Spikes are optional but have to be the rubber kind. No metal or Hard plastic Spikes. All other equipment that is needed will be provided.
Practice and Games
All games for the Kindergarten program will be played on the day set by the league they will be in, depending on if there are enough kids to make a kindergarten team. Practice day will be at the discretion of the coach. Only two practice and one game for this level. Three practices are aloud before the games start. If there are not enough kindergarten kids they will be placed on a team with the 1st/2nd grade team. this has been done in the past and has worked out fine. The kindergarten kids do well playing with the older group.
1st/2nd Grade programs games will be on Wednesday nights and or Saturdays but is subject to change year to year based on the availability of the teams that we can schedule. They will be allowed two practice days outside of game days, They will be aloud three practices a week prior to the start of games. Practices days are at the discretion of the coach.
