Flag Star Hyattsville
Our Hyattsville league launched in Fall 2022, and we’re PUMPED our third season was Bigger and Better than ever. League play will resume in the Spring, but we’re staying active this Winter with a (Dec-Feb) Skills Clinic of skills/drills/scrimmaging. And you can find more info on that below!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
*E-mail Nikki (nikki@flagstarfootball.com) with any other questions
What’s the format of this league?
We’re going to have 90-minute self-contained session of skills, drills and games coached by some all-star members of the Flag Star coaching staff.
Can I register an entire team?
Yes. We’d prefer that. If you have a group of players you’d like to register, e-mail us directly (nikki@flagstarfootball.com) and we’ll create a personalized registration page for your crew!
Even if you only have 4-5 kids, drop us a line. Creating your own registration page helps make sure we place you all together!
But I don’t have an entire team! Can I still register to play?
Yes. Priority placement goes to pre-formed teams, but we do accept “free-agents”: players who register by themselves or with small groups of friends.
When you register, list your friends names or indicate your “free-agent” status under “team preference.” We’ll place you all together and work hard to find you a team.
When do the boys (and girls!) practice?
Practice time is built into our Sunday schedule. For the 2nd-7th graders, there’s a half hour practice window before the game begins. This half-hour gives coaches the chance to run drills, draw-up plays and put them immediately into play.
We’ve used this format for years now. It’s by far the most effective use of players’ time (and attention spans!).
My child isn’t the best athlete and he’s never played flag football. Will he be left behind?
Absolutely not. Bring us your outgoing and your shy. Your great athletes and your children with two left-feet. Flag Star Football welcomes all kids who want to participate!
Our league is designed for every level of experience and every level of athleticism. A good portion of our players are football-fanatics, but just as many are first-time players. They’re kids who haven’t shown interest in sports and need something to get them out of the house. All are welcome.
Should I choose the parent or professionally coached team?
That’s entirely up to you. Both are great. The majority of parent-coach registrants have a specific parent in mind, so they know who’ll be coaching their team. If you want the parent-coached option but don’t have a team, we’ll try to place you on a roster when registration closes.
Pro-coaches are people we hire and train. They’re usually in their mid-to-late twenties, former athletes, and passionate about sharing their love for the game.
Neither option is better or worse. We monitor our pro-coaches a little bit more closely, but you can expect all coaches to bring positive, constructive energy to the field each week.
Where exactly will you play?
We are, as always, fighting for field space. Sometimes we don't know our field assignments until weeks before the season.
We do make this promise, though: if you register and end up unhappy with the field location, you can withdrawal from the league with a full refund. We don’t anticipate fields being a problem.
