With 12 years of growth and counting NOVA FLAG, is now sponsored by i9 Sports. As we continue to expand we are now utilizing the vast nationwide resources of i9 Sports!
You will find that i9 Sports, NOVA FLAG FOOTBALL, experience is an exciting alternative to other leagues, because we offer the features you value most:
- Emphasis on FUN that places the kids' needs first
- Focus on basic skills, sportsmanship, team play and fairness
- Convenience (practices and games on the same day)
- Inclusiveness (balanced playing time for every player, every game)
- Commitment to safety (mandatory certified background checks on all coaches)
- Unsurpassed organization and communication League Format:
Play is 5 vs 5 (with variations of 4 vs 4 or 6 vs 6 depending on total registrations), with no intentional contact allowed. Teams are organized into divisions based on the age of the child. Teams will consist of 8-12 players each. Each team will have an hour slotted for games preceded by a 30-60 minute practice. You will only be at the fields for about one and half to two hours each week.
Equipment: The league provides each player with an official i9 Sports Flag Football reversible jersey that your kids get to keep and a flag belt that (the kids love the reversible jersey). Players may wear shorts or sweats of any type, as long as they do not have pockets or belt loops, and as long as they are not red. Appropriate footwear includes football/soccer rubber cleats (no metal) or sneakers. Each player must use a mouth guard at all times during play.
Awards: Each week one child from each team will be awarded an i9 Sports Sportsmanship Medal for demonstrating the value for that week. Kids will receive an i9 Sports Participation Medal at the end of the season or division winners will receive a trophy.
Coaches, Referees & On-Site Staff: All coaches, usually a volunteer parent of a child playing on the team, will have certified background checks performed. Please consider volunteering! Coaches will find the experience personally rewarding. Referees are trained to ensure the highest level of professionalism. We have on-site staff at all of our venues, trained to help out as may be needed and keep the entire program running efficiently each week.
Interactive Website: You can register to play, access schedules, view standings and team/player statistics, review game rules, and get the latest league news at our state-of-the-art website. The website is updated on a regular basis so please check it often. |
