There are a few exceptions for a participant to play up. The following exceptions are allowed:
For any of these exceptions you would have to register over the phone with an athletics staff member. You would NOT be able to register online.
No, once rosters are made we do not make changes to rosters. There is no exception to this policy and all requests will be denied.
We require volunteer coaches for all of our youth leagues. This is due to us being a recreational league and in order to keep the registration price down for participants. If we hired coaches the registration fee would drastically increase.
All of our leagues rely on volunteer coaches due to this there is a chance that we do not have enough volunteers by the start of the season. If this is the case, we will send out emails to the team to find a volunteer and have a parent meeting. We do not offer refunds for teams without coaches at the beginning of the season.
Each team will receive two 1 hour practices a week for the season. This practice time is set by the volunteer coach at the coaches meeting prior to the season.
Due to field space we only provide two practices per team a week. Any other practice time on a city athletic field must be approved and paid for prior to usage.
Practices are located at BB Owen Sports Complex at 5700 Squires Drive, The Colony, Texas 75056.
Games are located at Strike Middle Schools Turf field with is located at 8798 Scotty's Lake Lane, The Colony, Texas 75056.
Yes, mouthguards are required to play. You may purchase a mouthguard during registration or purchase one on your own. We do NOT provide mouthguards. If a child does not have a mouthguard during a game, they will not be able to play.
We provide one NFL flag ball to the coach of each team, but we highly recommend purchasing your own football for practice.
You can purchase a new jersey by reaching out to playtcsports@thecolonytx.gov for $30.00 + shipping. We do not have a stock of jerseys for flag football so we would have to submit a single order to the jersey company.
You can purchase a replacement flag belt for $5 by emailing playtcsports@thecolonytx.gov.
