All ages shown are as of July 31, and weights are as of the certification date. Certification usually occurs between August 15 and August 25 for most participants.
Flag football participants must be no younger than 5 years old on July 31 nor older than 6 years old as of the same date. There are no weight restrictions.
Cheerleaders must meet the same age criteria, and usually participate with a football team whose ages correspond to the cheerleaders. 5 and 6 year olds may participate either as Mascots or with the Flag football team, if there is a corresponding cheer squad.
