TCAPS Learning, Enrichment & Athletic Program

About Flag Football Flag Football is open to boys and girls in 2nd - 5th grade (this course section will allow you to register 2nd and 3rd Graders). The LEAP flag football program partners with the NFL flag football program to offer this exciting opportunity for elementary students to learn the basic fundamentals of the game. Along with the LEAP staff, this program is overseen by the Central High School and West Senior High School coaching staff. Teams will be formed at each elementary school that have enough participants registered to field a team and where a volunteer coach is available. In the event of low enrollment or lack of a volunteer coach, schools may be combined and/or refunds may be given. You will be contacted by the LEAP Office in the event of low enrollment for your school. Season Start & End Dates September 15 - October 18, 2025 Practice Schedules Grades 2nd - 3rd grade flag football practice will run 1 - 2 days per week after school at each home school. Exact practice days and times will be determined by the availability of the volunteer coach and will not be known until a coach is in place. Schedules vary from school to school. Following the close of registration, your student's coach will contact you regarding a more detailed schedule. Game Schedules 2nd - 3rd grade Flag Football game days are Mondays & Saturdays. A complete list will come from your coach. Helpful Information Bring a water bottle to practices and games. Mouthgaurd is required. Please wear tennis shoes or cleats. (Cleats are not required, but non-metal football cleats are allowed). Each player will be given a jersey that corresponds with the NFL team that is selected for their Flag Football Team. Jersey sizes are limited so LEAP may sub up or down from your requested size based upon availability.
