Many of our coaches are former collegiate athletes (check out the staff bios). For Koa-coached Option #2 teams, the Koa coaches will run the 30 minutes practice immediately before the game and coach the games. We often use a parent to assist the Koa coach with player rotations and keeping track of plays. All teams will provide a PM (Parent Manager). Here’s a link to the PM Guidelines.

Barring a conflict, Koa-coached teams will have the same coach most weeks – but it will not be every week. There will be some rotation.

Our K-8 Flag Football teams will meet right before their scheduled games for a pre-game practice session. The practice session will last for 1/2 hour, with the games following practice. Koa has practice plans available for parent-coached teams. Of course, teams are also free to hold their own parent-run practices during the week as they see fit. Koa can provide a practice plan for any team wishing to hold extra parent-run practices. Games last about an hour.

Yes – all players are welcome to register for the 3-week pre-season flag football training camp. Koa coaches run the camp and work on skills and drills to get ready for the fall season. Camp is open for kids in grades K-5th grade. Dates are TBA — please check back soon! Here’s the link for more info!

Games will take place on Saturdays or Sundays at fields in the Bethesda, Potomac, and Rockville area. Fall Saturday start times usually range from 9:00am to 6:00pm and Fall Sunday start times range between noon and 6:00pm. Once the days get shorter, start times will not be later than 4:30 or 5:00pm

Each team will have a roster of roughly 10 players. Because we are playing 7 on 7, our roster size will allow for absences and appropriate substitutions. In the Koa Boys Flag Football League, every player will have the opportunity for playing time.

Our goal is to have teams play other teams within 1 grade level so that players aren’t playing up or down more than 1 year.

Yes! All Koa Fall Flag Football League games will have 2 trained referees to manage the game and ensure that play is fair, safe and the rules are followed.
