Flag Star Football & EL Haynes Partnership

EL Haynes Families - Welcome!! Here at Flag Star, we've kicked off an awesome partnership with EL Haynes, and we couldn't be happier about it. Our mission is simple: Get Better. Have Fun. Create a low-pressure opportunity for kids to compete.

ELEMENTARY PROGRAM: We’re gearing up to field 3 co-ed EL Haynes elementary teams in our Fall league - one team each for 3rd, 4th and 5th grades. This will include after-school team practices (time/days TBD), and 1.5-hour sessions on Sundays (which include a 30-min. practice, followed by a 60-min. game in our NW DC league.)

HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM: We’re creating an EL Haynes 10th to 12th grade team to compete in our Fall league. This will include a handful of Saturday team practices (beginning with both August 23, morning, exact time TBD.)
It will also include 1.5-hour sessions on Sundays (30-min. practice, followed by a 60-min. game in our NW DC league.)

To every family of an EL Haynes 3rd, 4th and 5th, and 10th, 11th and 12th grader: we’re welcoming you at zero cost. Sign up to play, and it’s free. You’ll use the code ELHAYNESFREE.at checkout.

***REGISTER BY AUGUST 1st to guarantee a spot!***Use code ELHAYNESFREE at checkout***


Note:
When you reach the ““Organization Options” page, select the “pro-coached” option
Then select the “EL Haynes” option

If the demand exceeds the number of spots on the team, tryouts for registered kids will be held on Thurs., 8/21 and Fri., 8/22.
For 3rd, 4th and 5th grades: tryouts will begin at 4pm, on the fields at the Kansas Ave. campus.
For 10th through 12th graders, tryouts will be held on Friday, 8/22, at the conclusion of the elementary tryouts (approx. 5:30pm)
For more info on tryouts, please contact Lydia Williams, lwilliams@elhaynes.org, or Valarie Upton, vupton@elhaynes.org
If your child doesn’t get selected for the EL Haynes team, we’ll roster your child onto another team in the league that needs players! These ballers will only practice/play on Sundays.

Families - please REGISTER NOW, and mark your calendars for August 21 and 22.
