2008 KPY FOOTBALL
INFO
Flag
Football: 5 & 6 year olds
Age Cutoff:
If
the player turns 7 years old on or before November 15 – He must be
registered in the 7/8 year old program. Coaches must evaluate all the
players before any exceptions are made.
KPY Flag Football is an
instructional youth football league for 5&6 year old children. This league
is an exciting and fun way for the kids to learn the basics of football,
teamwork, and discipline. The kids will be very competitive so the coaches
and parents can NOT be. Cheer both teams and always be positive. There are
no standings, scores are not kept, and winning has no relevance. Please be
aware though that the games are very competitive and the kids are playing
hard (this is NOT T-ball).
KPY will supply games jerseys and
mouthpieces for all participants. Please have your children dressed
appropriately (depending on the weather), cleats are necessary, and bring
plenty of water.

Football 7 - 12 year olds
7-12 is a
TRAVEL league and is exceptionally competitive. If an age group has 2
or more teams, the teams will be divided so that the most competitive kids
will be placed on the same team so that our children will be able to compete
with the rest of Suffolk County. Coaches, not parents, must determine the
placement of children so that we continue to be competitive.
The 12 year old
team will NOT conflict with the Middle School program. KPY will NOT
practice once the MS season starts. KPY is looking to complement the MS
program. Playing time at the MS level is scarce and this program will
supplement the teachings at the MS level. Please note that this team will
be placed in the extremely tough A division and all players must be ready,
willing, and able to compete at this level. This may not be the place for
beginners.
