K-9th FALL GIRLS FLAG FOOTBALL LEAGUE FAQs

Q.  Who can play in the Koa Fall Girls Flag Football League?

Registration closes 10/15!

Q.  Who will coach?
A.  At Koa Sports, we believe kids can get the best training from experienced coaches and instructors (check out our Coach Bio pages).  Many of our coaches are collegiate athletes and they will run practice immediately before the game and then coach the games.  The parents get to watch and cheer on their athletes from the sidelines.  Read our Koa White Paper on The Importance of a Non-Parent Coach. We may periodically use a parent to assist the Koa coach. We will have one Parent Manager (PM) per team, as we have found this to be particularly helpful if you are transitioning into the Koa league from a parent coached team.

Q.  Will each team be assigned a permanent coach?
A.  Barring a conflict, teams will have the same coach most weeks – but it will not be every week.  There will be some rotation.

Q.  Will you have practices? How long are practices and games?
A.  Our K-9th Flag Football Teams will meet once a week for 1 hour 15 minutes. The teams will have a practice/warmup period followed by a game. 

Q.  When and where will you have games and practices?
A.  Games will take place on Sundays generally scheduled between 9am and 5pm at fields in the Bethesda, Potomac, and Rockville area.  We will post the game schedule online at the beginning of the season once we receive the field permits.

Q.  How many players are on a team and does everyone get equal playing time?
A.  Each team will have a roster of  9-10 players.  Because we are playing 7 on 7, our roster size will allow for absences and appropriate substitutions.  Every player will have the opportunity for playing time.

Q.  Will teams always play within their age groups?
A.  Our goal is to have teams play other teams within 1 grade level so that players aren’t playing up or down more than 1 year.

Q.  Will the games have referees?
A.  Yes!  All Koa Fall Flag Football League games will have 2 trained referees to manage the game and ensure that play is fair, safe and the rules are followed.

Q.  How big are the fields?
A.  Depending on the age groups, our fields are between 60 yards and 80 yards. 

Q. When does Koa permit a player to be the QB?
A. At the 3rd and 4th grade level we have Coach QBs (except a coach may permit a player to play QB). At all levels above 4th grade, it's all player QBs.

Q.  Does the Koa Fall Girls League have standings and where can we find them?
A.  Yes, we will publish the results each week on our website. 

Q.  Are there playoffs?
A.  Yep – we have playoffs and college bowl games!

Q.  How can I learn about the Koa Flag Football League rules?
A.  We have posted a link to our parent’s guide to the flag football rules on Koa's website (www.koasports.org).  Please note that our rules generally follow collegiate intramural rules. 

Q.  What equipment will I need to buy?
A.  Koa Sports will provide all the field equipment such as flags, balls, etc.  Each registered player will get a Koa jersey to wear at all the games.  You will need to purchase a mouth guard.  Cleats are strongly recommended but not required. 

Q.  How much does it cost?
A.  The fee for the Fall Girls Flag Football League is $100.00/player.  Here's the breakout: League fee - $40; Coaching/insurance - $40; Jersey - $20.

Q. What if I have to withdraw from the League?
A. There will be no team/league refunds given to any individual player who withdraws after the published registration deadline. If an additional replacement player can be found to take the spot of a withdrawing player, we will be able to refund league fees minus a 20% administrative fee. The administrative fee covers among other things, time spent (1) contacting new payers, (2) adjusting rosters, (3) notifying host league, and (4) hosting a new tryout.

Q.  How long is the Fall Girls Flag Football season?
A.  Our 4 week season begins October 30 and runs through November 20.
