Winter Flag Football at Conaty

What is X2-Sports flag football?

X2-Sports runs indoor winter flag football at Conaty Athletic for ages 6–14. It’s co-ed, non-contact, and designed to be high‑energy for kids and low‑stress for parents: one epic day a week, all winter.

Who can play?

Our league is co-ed and open to all kids ages 6–14.

From first‑timers to kids who’ve played for years, all skill levels are welcome. Games are played 5‑on‑5, with rosters typically around 8–10 players per team so everyone stays involved.

What’s included with my registration?

Your registration fee covers your child’s entire season, including:

  • Placement on a team
  • Indoor turf field time at Conaty Athletic
  • Trained officials
  • League administration and scheduling
  • A high‑energy, well‑run game experience every week

We’ll clearly outline any included gear (jersey, flags, etc.) on the registration page for each season so you know exactly what to expect.

Is flag football safe?

Flag football is a non‑contact format:

  • No tackling
  • No blocking or screening
  • No diving on players

Defenders “tackle” by pulling a flag from the ball‑carrier’s belt. That means kids get real football reps—routes, passes, defense—without full‑contact hits or heavy equipment.

Why flag football?

Flag delivers the good stuff parents care about:

  • Physical: cardio, strength, balance, and coordination
  • Mental: resilience, focus, and problem‑solving
  • Social: teamwork, communication, and new friends

Games are 5‑on‑5, which means more touches, more decisions, and less standing around. It feels like the backyard version you grew up with—just organized and scaled for ages 6–14.

How are individual players placed on teams?

We use a draft‑style system to build balanced teams:

  • Coaches receive basic info (age, experience, buddy requests, etc.)
  • They select players to help keep games competitive and fun
  • Buddy requests are considered, but not guaranteed—especially if they would stack a team

We can’t offer refunds if a specific buddy request isn’t fulfilled, but we do our best to honor reasonable requests (usually 1–2 friends).

Do you accept full team registrations?

No. We don’t take full team registrations.

We intentionally form teams through our placement process to:

  • Keep the league balanced
  • Prevent “super teams”
  • Make it easy for new players and families to jump in

Buddy requests are designed for kids to play with a friend or two—not for building pre‑made rosters.

How many players are on a team?

Most teams have 8–10 players.

That’s the sweet spot where:

  • Everyone gets plenty of snaps
  • Coaches can rotate kids through positions
  • We still have subs in case of absences

In rare cases, we may adjust roster sizes slightly to accommodate registration numbers, but we always protect playing time as a priority.

Who are the coaches?

Our league is powered by parent, family, and community volunteers.

  • X2-Sports provides the structure, training, and support
  • Families provide the coaches, assistants, and team managers

No prior coaching experience is required—we’ll give you the tools you need. If a team doesn’t have a coach before the season, we’ll work hard to find one or adjust rosters so every team has leadership.

There are lots of ways to help: Head Coach, Assistant Coach, Team Manager, communications, snacks, picture day, sideline organization, and more. The more you pitch in, the better the experience is for every kid.

Who are the officials? Are they qualified?

Our officials are trained specifically for youth flag football and instructed to:

  • Keep games safe
  • Enforce rules consistently
  • Help kids learn as they play

They’re there to manage the game, not dominate it—so kids can focus on playing and having fun.

How much playing time will my child get?

Our programs emphasize participation, fun, and fundamentals.

Coaches are expected to:

  • Rotate players through positions
  • Distribute playing time fairly and consistently
  • Make sure every child is part of the action, not just watching from the sideline

We can’t guarantee identical minutes, but equal opportunity and meaningful touches are core to how we run the league.

What does my registration fee cover?

Your fee supports everything required to run a quality season, including:

  • Indoor turf field time at Conaty Athletic
  • Officials and game operations
  • League staff and administration
  • Scheduling, communication, and website tools
  • Player gear as listed for that season (jersey/flags, etc.)
  • A well‑organized, fun environment your kid will want to come back to

We design the program to maximize value on the field, not bloat it with extras you don’t need.
