2024 registration

AC Flag Football League is a non-profit, self funded program.

AC Flag Football League is up and running thanks to the support of its participants and sponsors. Starting a new sports league, even on a non-profit basis, involves a lot of initial background time and costs, and it's wonderful that registration fees, team sponsorships, and fundraising efforts have helped cover these expenses.

Investments in equipment like footballs and flags, team gear, safety measures like mouth guards and insurance, as well as the creation of a new field, are crucial to ensure a successful and safe season for all participants. It's evident that the community's commitment to the league has made this all possible.

Here's to a fantastic second season of AC Flag Football, filled with fun, camaraderie, and sportsmanship. Your dedication to providing this opportunity for the community is commendable, and it is greatly appreciated by all those involved.

Best of luck to all the teams in our second season, and may it be the another successful season!
