Why are you doing a Girls Flag ? MYFA strongly believes in girls athletics. We are thrilled to lead the way with offering the area's first all girls football league.
It says Gridiron Girls Football Club, why a club team? We are partnering with other area organizations to kick off girls football in this Inaugural Season!!!
Will girls need to tryout? No, all girls that sign up will play and be part of a team. We want to celebrate girls athletics, and do everything we can do get girls ready for the when flag football becomes a high school sport.
How will teams be formed? We will do everything we can to form teams based on the girl's skills, age and current level of athletic ability. This will be Club teams and players will be from all different schools etc. In this first year we are trying to create 3 teams in each of the divisions (elementary, middle school and high school)
What is the cost for this Club Team? Cost for this year will be $29. No membership fees, monthly dues etc.
Why is the cost so low compared to the other leagues? In any start up league or division we know there will be plenty of flexibility needed from parents, players and coaches. For that reason we are only asking for a minimal amount to try off set some of our costs.
It says 3rd-12th grade, you will not have 3rd graders playing with 9th graders will you? Short answer, "NO"...But we do want to be able to put players on teams without the constraints of divisions or grade levels...for example maybe we have a 3rd-5th grade divisions and a 6-8th divisions...We just don't know yet and want to be as flexible as possible.
What if I don't like the divisions/teams/etc? 100% refund is always available if you feel the product we are offering does not meet your needs.
What rules will you follow? We will be meeting with other Club teams in the area to decide if we will be playing 7v7 or 5v5 and what common rules we will use.
When will games and practices start/be. First practice will be April 13th at 5pm. It will be at MYFA Complex on Ahearn Drive NE. As we get closer to the date, we will be in contact with more info.
