Lake Country Chiefs Flag

What aged players are appropriate for this program?

Lake Country Chiefs Flag Football is designed for athletes in 1st through 4th grade. The program is divided into two divisions to ensure appropriate competition and skill development: a Peewee Division for 1st and 2nd graders and a Junior Division for 3rd and 4th graders.

What time of the year does this program run?

The Lake Country Chiefs flag football season runs in the late summer and early fall. Practices begin in early August, with games starting in late August and continuing through September and into early October. The season includes team practices, regular-season games on Saturdays, and wraps up with final matchups in October.

Where are practices and games held?

Flag football practices and games are held at North Lake School athletic fields. For the first couple weeks of the season, all flag football practices take place at North Lake School, and games for both Peewee and Junior divisions are also played there on Saturdays. Practice locations and times may adjust later in the season based on coordination between coaches and families.

When are practices, and how often are they?

Teams practice once per week during the season. Each practice is generally 60–90 minutes long, depending on the coach and division.

Every team practices at North Lake School for the first few weeks of the season. Head coaches may move their practices to an approved location if the team supports it.

All games are played on Saturdays at North Lake Elementary for both divisions.
