Join the Action in Our Flag Football League 

Asphalt Green’s Youth Flag Football League offers kids the chance to get involved in competitive play. The season begins with fundamentals and preparation, where players develop a strong foundation in throwing, catching, running, set plays, and offensive and defensive strategies under the guidance of our experienced coaches.

Once players are game-ready, the focus shifts to league play, featuring refereed games that build teamwork and confidence. The season concludes with exciting playoffs and championships, where athletes showcase their growth and skills in a competitive environment.

Asphalt Green Flag Football is an outstanding program dedicated to community, education, competitive spirit and fun. I am proud to be a member of such a dedicated and passionate team. Seldom can you find a place that feels like home so fast. Youth flag football brings a whole new meaning to “Friday Night Lights” and after only a few sessions, they make everyone feel like part of the family. I only wish that I could have been part of the program when I was growing up. It has provided me with a new found love for the game like never before, and it’s easy to tell that it lights the same fire in the kids. Every week is something special, a distinct, unique opportunity to make new memories and friendships that last a lifetime”

We have two boys who have participated in Friday Night Lights and they love it, especially for its competitive nature and seamless programming and oversight. We love the enthusiasm that the coaches bring to every game and really appreciate the kid-first, sportsmanship and fun-first mentality of the staff. We’re big fans!”

Frequently Asked Questions

We use the first three weeks as “Welcome/Evaluation” weeks. Before Week 4, the staff meets and drafts the most fun, most fair and most safe teams possible for the greater good of the football community. Those teams are rolled out live on the field Week 4 during what we call “Meet the Team” week. 

We have an officiating staff that uses rules paired most directly with those used by NFL Flag Football—they are an entity that plays football every day, year-round, and worldwide. They’ve done the research on the best ways to play. We’ve made a few tweaks to make it work best for Asphalt Green and our time and space allowances. 

During Meet the Team week you’ll be given a jersey-shirt and a mouth guard.
