Sherwood Park Youth Flag Football is offering recreation NFL Flag for kids aged 4-17 years old. We are excited to offer a new program for the 2025 called Touchdowns for Tots! Read more about the new program below.

SPYFFL's 2025 Spring season planning is underway! While the official schedule has not been released, the first game will be held on May 3, 2025. The recreation division will be comprised of 8 games - 1 game per week that will be held on Saturday mornings on the grass fields in Emerald Hills with a Jamboree to wrap up the season. Practices are all team dependant and to be set by your team's coach. Coaches will be instructed to reach out to the families on the team to get feedback on the best night for each family but the decision will ultimately be up to the coach as to where/when practice will be held. The league recommends no more than 2 practices per week leading up to the first game of the season and 1 practice per week during the season.  Please note - the SPYFFL schedule will be accommodating to the Edmonton NFL Regional tournament so that our teams have the chance to play in the tournament. The schedule for this has not been set but be aware this will mean that a Saturday game will be held on Sunday. Games will be played conveniently at the same location each week.  When you register, you will be asked to select which school your child goes to. This is how the teams are determined. SPYFFL will try to group neighborhood kids together so that you may have a friend or two on your team and your practice area will be close to where you live. SPYFFL will not accomodate requests to switch teams. 

TOUCHDOWNS FOR TOTS
This Spring, SPYFFL is adding a new division for our tiniest teams!  This division is for your kids TURNING 4 or TURNING 5 by December 31, 2025. Birth years in 2020 and 2021 will be accepted. 
The focus of this division will be to progressively teach our tots the fundamental movement skills required to play football while having a blast doing so! These kids will get the same equipment kits as the rest of the league and have their own area next to the fields where thre "big kids" play so that they too can #playlikethepros. There will be no official games in this division and therefore no weekly practices - this division will gather once per week on the Emerald Hills grass fields with the rest of their team and coach as well as some league reps to facilitate their on field experience. Our tots learn play with their own "mini football" and will go through a series of drills and games to enhance their learning experience. 

Weather cancellation policy - if games need to be cancelled due to the county closing fields or weather deemed too unsafe to play, games will be rescheduled after the following weeks games after the regularly scheduled games have played (field availability permitting). 

 

Each participant will receive an equipment kit prior to the start of the season that is included in registration. This kit is comprised of:

Parents/Guardians PLEASE familiarize yourself with the size charts and choose the appropriate size for each particpant correctly. As a new league, we have no extra stock for jersey or short exchanges. NFL Flag allows 1 opportunity to exchange uniforms and after that additional uniforms will need to be purchased to accommodate the proper size. This will be charged back to you! See size charts below.
