Dear Flag Football Families,
Thank-you to all our new and returning players, we are excited to welcome you to the 2023 Fall season of flag football!
Special Requests: When granting the special requests, we did our best to grant every request to the best of our ability, but some hard decisions had to be made between splitting up friends or moving a group to a new team. We thank you for your understanding that requests are not a guarantee and that the happiness of all our players is always a top priority. We hope everyone is as excited for the season to start as we are!
Uniform Handout: On your first session September 9th you will be assigned your jersey / belt and flags. If you are unable to attend the first session, don’t worry: We will have a jersey ready for you at the next session you attend. As this is the fall season please choose a jersey size which could be worn over a hoodie or coat. Please note that the jersey/belt and flags will need to be returned after the last session.
Attendance: No need to let the coach know if you can’t attend we expect families to be away on occasion!
Equipment: We recommend soccer cleats for footwear as they help with traction (especially when the field is wet). Other items we recommend are a water bottle, and shorts (or pants) with no pockets (because fingers can get caught in the pockets when players are trying to reach a flag). We play in ALL weather and encourage players to dress appropriately for the forecast.
Team Information & Schedule: Season dates are Saturday September 9, 16, 23, Sunday October 1st, and Saturday Oct 7, 14, 21 (and 28th for teams who make the playoffs). Please note that our normal date of Saturday September 31 was moved to Sunday as all Calgary fields are closed to observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
To view your schedule and team information, Log into your account online or on the app. Navigate to the “Dashboard” Click on the team’s name (under Role/Team) to see the schedule and team roster.
You can always find the master schedule (for all teams) by going to the website www.calgaryfootball.ca, then clicking “Schedule” from the top menu. You will need to remember the division and team name.
See you on the field!
Don and Karen Wilson
