Why It Matters for SoCal Families
For parents comparing fall flag football options, the most useful detail is timing. NFL FLAG SoCal lists Sunday games for the fall season, with the season opening September 20 and closing November 22. That gives families a clear window to compare against school sports, club schedules, weekend tournaments, and other fall commitments.
The Rose Bowl date is also worth noting, but families should treat it as a save-the-date until NFL FLAG SoCal posts full event details. The source page does not list the full format, schedule, registration deadline, pricing, parking details, or team assignments for that date.
NFL FLAG SoCal describes its league as an official NFL FLAG experience for players and fans, with team branding tied to NFL clubs such as the Rams, Chargers, 49ers, Seahawks and others. The league says all skill levels from ages 4 through 9th grade are welcome.
Age Groups and Divisions
NFL FLAG SoCal says registration level is based on a player's current grade level in September. Its public divisions page lists five youth divisions, from Mighty Mites through Pro.
| Division | Age/Grade Listed by NFL FLAG SoCal |
|---|---|
| Mighty Mites | 4 and 5 years old |
| Pee Wee | 1st and 2nd grade |
| Juniors | 3rd and 4th grade |
| Majors | 5th and 6th grade |
| Pro | 7th and 8th grade |
Because the main NFL FLAG SoCal page also says athletes from ages 4 through 9th grade are welcome, families with 9th graders should confirm placement directly with the league before registering.
NFL FLAG SoCal lists these dates on its public calendar pages at the league level, not as a separate schedule for each division. Families should treat them as key published league dates and confirm final division-specific schedules directly with NFL FLAG SoCal.
