Menifee Community Services Department has collaborated with Under Armour and will be offering “Under the Lights Flag Football” during Fall 2018. Practices and games will be held at Audie Murphy Ranch Sports Park’s Multi-Purpose Field (30376 Lone Pine Dr., Menifee CA 92584).
Each team will be co-ed and consist of eight players. While individual players will be placed on teams based on similarity (same school, organization, outside teams, neighborhood, etc.), players are encouraged to create their own teams of eight and request to be on teams with friends and family. Players must be between the ages of 5-13, and will be separated by age group (5-7, 8-9, 10-11, and 12-13). All ages are calculated as of September 1, 2018.
To participate, there is a $175 flat fee with no sponsorships or fundraising required. The fee includes: Under Armour game shirt, Under Armour game shorts, 7 regular season games, 1 day of playoffs or consolidation games, and trophies for division champions. Practices and games will be held every Friday evening starting October 5th, 2018 until November 23rd, 2018; playoffs will take place on the evening of November 30th, 2018. Food and music will be provided on site.

“I am thrilled to see Menifee incorporating new and exciting sports to offer our residents,” said Jonathan Nicks, Community Services Director. “The youth basketball league, that was offered for the first time this past year, was such a success that I am excited to see what the flag football league brings to the community.”
This is a no-contact flag football league. All referees will officiate the game enforcing the non-contact football rules to ensure the safety of all players. There will also be emphasis on the passing game; therefore, there will be no pass rush, run limitations, and a 4-6 second sac count. The games will be in a 6x6 format, except for the 12-13 age group, which will be a 7v7 format. Each player is guaranteed playtime every game, ensuring equal opportunity fun for all players! All coaches are voluntary parent positions. If you are interested in coaching, please check the appropriate box upon registration.
