Flag Football Info / Registration | Rulebooks | Hall of Champions

Q: I'm ready to join your team. Where do I sign up?
A: We're not a team, but actually a league made up of many teams. If you have friends, family, co-workers, etc that want to play then you should consider registering your own team. If it's just you and maybe a few friends then register as individual free agents and we'll try to place you on a team.

Q: Is it okay that I've never played flag football before?
A: Absolutely. As long as you have a general understanding of how football is played, all it takes is practice to get good at flag football. We have players of all levels so most people can fit right in.

Q: How is co-ed flag football different from men's?
A: Co-ed flag football allows you to play with all your friends, regardless of gender. We have rules in place to make sure that both men and women are able to participate more equally. For the sake of simplicity, for every two straight offensive plays that involve only men, the next play must involve a woman either as a quarterback, running back, or wide receiver.

Q: How many players should I have register for my team?
A: That really depends on how reliable your players are. If you can count on most of you players showing up each week then 12-15 is a good number to maximize playing time. If you think that conflicting schedules will keep a good number of your players from committing then 16-20 is a good number to have to make sure that you don't have to play games shorthanded or even forfeit.

Q: Can I register a team now and have my players register late?
A: Yes, you can add players up until the day before the season starts. 

Q: Do I have to live in Rockville to play?
A: No, you can reside anywhere and play in our league. Rockville is simply the location where we play and not necessarily where we all live.

Q: Are uniforms required?
A: Uniforms aren't required, but teams must have matching colors so that it'll be easier to differentiate teammates on the field. You can get custom shirts or jerseys made at discounted prices just for RASL players at Sports Extra in Bethesda, MD.
