2025 Spring Flag Football Season Kick-Off

By RYFA 04/23/2025, 10:00am CDT

The first day of Spring Flag Football is on Sunday, April 27th. Our volunteers have been working hard behind the scenes since this will be our biggest season yet!

Coaches should have received their rosters and are working on contacting their teams. If you have not received a message from a coach, please do not worry. You can access your child's team assignment and schedule in your Sports Engine account.  There is also a Sports Engine app that you can download to access your information on-the-go. Your schedule will direct you where to go on Sunday to meet your team. If you do not see information for your player in your Sports Engine account and haven't heard from a coach, please email us, and we can give you your team and schedule information.

RYFA would like to remind our league parents that volunteers run our organization, and your team coaches are also volunteers who are dedicating their time to teaching your children about football, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. Let's have a fun and memorable Spring Flag Football Season!
