Yorkville Eagles Travel Flag Football

Yorkville is proud to present the next level of flag football.

Both Boys and Girls aged 9-14 (as of 1/1/2024), are eligible to try out for Yorkville's Flag Football Tournament Teams. These will be highly competitive teams playing in age-appropriate divisions, and players will be selected based on their performance, level of commitment, and positive attitude during tryouts.

All teams will play in local tournaments that are within 3 hours driving distance from NYC.  Additionally, teams will participate in the annual Regional Tournament sponsored by the NFL. Regional Tournament winners may qualify to play in the National Championships at the Pro Bowl.  Lastly, teams may qualify to play in the Tournament of Champions at MetLife Stadium!

 

The 'U' stands for 'Under' - example '10U' means 10 and under. Birthdate is calculated using 1/1/2024 as the starting age. If your child was 10 or under on 1/1/2024, they are eligible to play in that division. There will be no exceptions to this age rule.
