Please read ALL THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION regarding your child's upcoming flag football league. You will receive a couple emails with specifics regarding your child's team placement, coach, and roster.

WHO:

Your ONLINE PLAYER PAGE will allow you to see your child's team assignment, team schedule, and more. Here under your profile, you can set preference to get Game Day Reminder emails and Team Message notifications. Through this you can message the team to set up meeting times, important announcements, notices about attendance, and snack rotations. You can also edit your information and add additional approved adults to each child's account...it's a powerful tool!

This league is fun for the entire family! We encourage (and require) families to stay and cheer on their kids. Coaches and staff are not responsible for supervision.

WHERE:

Games will be played at Azalea Park in St. Petersburg, which is near Tyrone Mall, and is South of 22nd Avenue. This is NOT where the Azlaea Little League or Azalea Youth Soccer play (they play at nearby Walter Fuller Rec Center which is NORTH of 22nd Ave). 

Parking is limited at Azlaea Park, as we have many families playing here every Saturday. For parking guidelines and field numbers, refer to our AZALEA FOOTBALL FIELD MAP. Do not park at the Azalea Rec Center when they have events going on and do not park on any streets marked "NO PARKING". When parking on the grass, BE CAREFUL of running children and drive very slow. Do not double park any other cars in, and always leave spots for other vechicals to enter and exit the grass area.

 

The FIRST WEEK - you can head directly to your scheduled field and meet your coach, who will have all the jerseys. If you need help you can visit our command tent and we will answer any of your questions. 

WHEN:

Schedules for all live leagues can be FOUND HERE. If you have an online account for your child, specific game schedules can be found on your player page at http://www.clubsportkids.com/player/schedule. Depending on the age group, game times may vary from week to week so make sure to check the schedule before heading to the field. We will have practice areas available an hour before games should your team want to get together to practice.

 

Please try to arrive at least 45-60 minutes early the first game to make sure you find parking, get your jersey from your coach, meet your team, and practice before your first game.

WHAT:

It is best to know the rules. You can read over our FOOTBALL RULES HERE. Your child will need non-metal cleats (or tennis shoes). Players in the 6-13 year old divisions will be required to wear a mouthpiece (available online or at most sporting good stores). Uniforms have been ordered and will be available through your coach at the first game.  The uniforms will consist of shirt, shorts (without pockets), and a flag belt. Should your child wear their own shorts make sure they do not have pockets - for the safety of opposing fingers. Extra flag belts should yours be lost can be purchased.

We are accepting gently used cleats at the field for the recycle bin. Feel free to bring those cleats that your child has outgrown and/or peruse the bin for cleats that will fit your child. Kids feet grow so fast that it is hard to keep up!

Items to bring with you each week: water to keep the kids and yourself hydrated, chair or blanket to sit comfortably and cheer on your team (please be at least 3 FEET OFF THE SIDELINE), layers in case of chilly mornings and/or bug spray. The hot dog vendor will be back with pretzels, hotdogs, lemonade, water/Gatorade, etc at the field (so bring some cash)!

WEATHER INFO:

Read all our WEATHER POLICIES and about how to get notified. Should we experience adverse weather, you can check the status of games at our rainout line at 813-602-0066 This is a dial by extension service where you can find your league extension on your league schedule page online. You can see all up to the minute cancellations at https://statusfied.com/8136020066 where you can also subscribe to have cancelations texted or emailed to you just for the leagues your child plays in. Smart phone users can also download the RainoutLine app to see live league status. We will try to update this line as early as possible should we need to cancel games.

The most important rule to remember is that we are out there for the kids to have FUN! As it’s for fun, the score is not officially kept by the referees. Please be an example of sportmanship and good character for your children and all players.
