Football & Flag Football: ages and seasons

Typical starting ages
Flag football programs often start around age 5 or 6. Tackle leagues usually group players by age and, in some leagues, weight.
Seasons
Tackle football is mainly a fall sport. Flag football runs in fall and spring in many areas.
National organizations

General orientation only. Every program sets its own ages, fees and calendar.

How to choose a football program

  • Clubs and travel teams usually hold tryouts or evaluations. Ask about the total season cost (dues, uniforms, travel and tournament fees), how often they practise and compete, and how playing time is decided.
  • Leagues and rec programs register by season, often several weeks before play starts. Ask whether teams are balanced by skill and whether every child gets playing time.
  • Check that coaches have passed background checks and current safety training (for example SafeSport and concussion awareness).
  • Confirm the age or grade rules and any birth-year cutoff before paying.
  • Each listing shows its source and last-updated date. Contact the program directly, and if you run it, claim the listing or suggest an edit to fix the details.

About these listings. Listings come from public sources. IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File: nonprofits in the recreation and sports group with a recent filing, whose registered name identifies them as football programs. Their city is the registered mailing address, and their category is inferred from the name. Each listing shows its source and when that record was last updated. Listings marked “Confirmed by program” were checked with the program; a listing is not an endorsement. Always confirm ages, fees and tryouts with the program.
