What exactly is 49ers Varsity Flag Football?
49ers Varsity Flag Football is a collaboration between The RCX Sports Foundation and the San Francisco 49ers. We offer select Varsity Flag Football Leagues in our portfolio of league offerings through Northern California. What is the difference? We are glad that you asked.
What is included in this exclusive offering?
49ers Varsity Flag Football offers non-contact flag football leagues designed for boys and girls in pre-school through 8th grade.
This 7-practice/6-game season held on Sundays is a 5 vs. 5, non-contact, recreational, co-ed format. We try to limit teams to 10-11 players to maximize playing time. Teams meet and practice before their scheduled game times. Games will be scheduled on the hour and consist of Two (24-minute halves). This is an exceptional program for first-time players who want to learn the fundamentals of football. This is also a wonderful opportunity for players who want to continue enhancing their skills before taking the next leap into tackle football. There are no try-outs! Everyone participates!
Games will take place between 9:00 am - 7:00 pm on Sunday afternoons (subject to change depending on field availability and league size). Exact schedules will be created and posted 1-2 weeks prior to the season start date. Remember that practices take place one hour prior to game time each week to ensure a convenient and fun experience for all! Schedule times can vary from week to week.
Participants will receive an NFL FLAG 49ers reversible jersey, jersey customization (Name on back), pocket-less shorts, mouthguard and flag belt, theirs to keep (Refer to our sizing chart for jerseys as the NFL FLAG styles/sizes have recently been updated) Pre-Kindergarten thru 3rd Grade divisions (Lombardi and Shula) will receive individual participation awards at the end of the season. Madden divisions (4th thru 8th grade) will participate in playoff games (seeded based on standings) on the last day of the season - the 1st and 2nd place championship teams will receive awards from the league.
