Flag Football 10/3
We are thrilled to announce that as part of this year’s Homecoming celebrations, we are bringing back: Flag Football!
What is Flag Football?
Flag Football is a friendly game where the roles are reversed—our female students get to take the field as players, while male students cheerleaders/fans. It’s a great way for students to showcase their school spirit and sportsmanship in a fun and inclusive environment.
Event Details:
- Date: October 3
- Time: 6:00 PM
- Location: Larry Dale Field
We encourage all students to participate, either as players, cheerleaders, or enthusiastic supporters in the stands. This is a fantastic opportunity to come together, enjoy some friendly competition, and celebrate our school spirit leading up to the big Homecoming game.
We look forward to seeing you at the game and cheering on our students as they bring this tradition back to life!
Remember:
- Each team (class) may have a maximum of 15 players
- All fans must be in the stands. Only players are allowed to be on the field
- No rough play is allowed.
