When submitting your registration you will be redirected to Paypal. Registration is complete once we have received your payment. Once payment is confirmed, you should receive a confirmation email. If you cancel or fail to complete the payment, registration will be incomplete and you will not be assigned a team. If you don’t get the confirmation email – you are not registered. If your registration comes through but payment does not, we will contact you via email TWICE and then you will be dropped from the league. Any questions please contact registrar@bcsflagfootball.com.

Avoid using mobile devices or older browsers when registering. And please shut off pop-up blockers as well (sure, our software is a bit sensitive.).

D6 – D12 is draft format, so only way to “guarantee” your child plays with his/her friends is by becoming a Head Coach. You get to pick the kids (if available), your coaches, team name, colors and practice time! Even if you’ve never played football — we’ll give you the tools to success, including a playbook, roster work book, and coaching mentorship with an experienced league coach (by request). So jump in and help out – your kid will thank you!

Starting in the Fall of 2022, all uniforms will include a custom jersey, color rush pants and matching socks. Players will no longer be able to elect to not purchase pants, as we are no longer reusing the black practice pants since the league began.

The price of the uniform is included in your registration, along with their individual insurance policy, practice field and game field rentals.

And none older than 12 – as of 7/1/22. So a child can play at 13, but only if he/she turned 13 AFTER 7/1/22 .

Again, the league works on a “League Playing Age” system – the age your child is on 7/1/22 is the division the play in for BOTH the Fall and Spring.

• D5 Future Stars (Spring only), D6, D7, D8, D9, D10, D11, D12, D13

Note: League reserves the right to merge age groups if we have low registration in specific division. We generally don’t do that in the Fall where registration is historically higher, but we have done it in the Spring.

If we do not have your child’s birth certificate on file, you MUST scan and email his/her legal birth certificate or Passport to: birthcert@bcsflagfootball.com. Again, your child will not be allowed to play without a birth certificate on file – so if your child is a new player, send it in right away.

Teams practice at various (permitted) park and schools throughout the South Bay, depending on team make up and coach’s choice. Generally, teams practice once a week, usually for 1.5 hours – again depending on the team, age group, field space and coach.

GAME LOCATIONS:

Most games are played at Waller Field or the new West (Meadows) Field at Mira Costa High School or The Seahawk Bowl at Redondo Union High School. However, due to the incredible popularity of the league, we may play on some alternate fields like Pacific Elementary (MB), Manhattan Beach Middle School (MB), American Martyrs (MB), Aviation Field (RB), and Manhattan Village Park (MB). Where teams play is pretty much random, since we have 40+ teams a season, so we can’t take requests.
