Update as of 8/2/20:

Dear Players, Coaches, Referees, Parents and Spectators,

As the start of the flag football season approached, we were determined that we would be able to carry forth with our season in some form in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. In consultation with local health officials, guidance from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and the CDC, we drafted a return-to-play plan. Unfortunately, as more time passed, our plan became less attainable to a point where we could no longer define a safe path forward for our sport. Because of this, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our 2020 flag football season. 

For those that registered, we will begin the refund process promptly. Please be patient as we work through the details. If you purchased apparel through the apparel sale, we will be contacting you separately.

Mandatory Player Workout (Sun Aug 2nd, 2020) - Has Been Canceled:

Players should report to the concession stand area between the baseball diamonds at Nouryon Sports Complex for registration. We expect the workout to last around an hour. Typical athletic apparel is recommended including athletic pants or shorts, a t-shirt and tennis shoes or cleats.

Note: if your child is unable to attend the mandatory player workout they will be placed on a team during the coach's draft through a random assignment. The league does not need to be informed. However, we reiterate that the workout helps us ensure team parity and therefore is not optional.

• 10/12 year old league 6:00 pm
