Q: When/where will practices be held?
- Practice times and locations are typically at the coaches' discretion. However, for Mesa, we do offer lighted fields at Fremont Jr. High for the current season. These are open from 6-9 PM upon request only, first come first served. Reach out to [email protected] for all requests.
- Teams will have the option to practice outside of the Saturday morning "prior to game" practices for our QC, Tempe, Vail, and Chandler locations.
Q: When will the schedule come out?
- The schedule comes out generally the week leading into the season.
Q: What are the rules for NFL Flag?
- The rule book that we adhere to is found on our website under the "Gameday" tab.
Q: How much will my child play?
- We encourage coaches that it is in their best interest to allow all players to get close to equal playing time and avoid a "win-at-all cost" mentality. However, during playoffs, as it is a "one and done" format, playing time is less of a concern as all teams wish to be as competitive as possible in an effort to win the championship.
Q: I'm not with the right coach. What do I do?
- If you requested a specific coach, we do our best to assign you to his/her team. Please keep in mind that the coach has the final say on their roster. Oftentimes, more than 10 kids request a coach and the coach makes the final decision on which kids he keeps.
- If you did not have a coaching request, then we add you to a team that is closest to your area.
Q: My team doesn't have an assigned coach yet. Help!
- Given the size of our league, we do encounter a shortage of coaches. Please keep in mind that coaches are volunteers and generally have a child playing on that team.
- We do love when a parent steps up to coach when needed. It shows your child and the team support. We do offer resources if you have not coached previously.
- On very rare occasion, we are unable to find a coach for a team in which case we do our best to move the players to another team or refund the registration fees.
Q: I have an assigned coach, but I haven't heard from him/her yet. What do I do?
- Coaches typically receive their rosters 1-2 weeks prior to the first week to initiate contact and set up practices and provide info necessary to the start of the season.
- If you haven't heard from the coach by weekend prior to the first game, please contact us via email.
Q: Do I need the mouthguard for practice?
- You don't have to wear a mouthguard to practice, however they are required for all games. You can purchase these at the AZ Premier tent on game days if necessary. Referees will do equipment checks prior to every game and will deem a player unable to play if they do not have a mouthguard.
Q: My practices are too far from my location. What do I do?
- Practice locations can be up to 10 miles from your home/school. We have kids playing from all over the area, so it is sometimes difficult to find a team that practices in your backyard.
Q: Do you offer team photos?
- TSS Photography will be on site for one weekend where teams will get their pictures taken. You will receive communication from them for ordering process.
Q: How do I see my player's team information?
- We utilize the Mojo Sports app. Once the team roster is finalized, you will receive an invitation to the app in an email, allowing for you to register your athlete and any other "fans" you deem necessary.
Q: I've accidentally removed the team, how do I see it again?
