When and Where are Practices?

Rush Flag Football is committed to organizing practices that effectively accommodate the preferences and schedules of our players, teams, and coaches. We strive for transparency in all our operations. During the registration process, participants will have the opportunity to indicate their preferred location and day of the week for practice sessions.

Volunteer Coaches get to choose the day, time, and location of their team's practice. The league reserves fields most nights of the week in municipalities across the Chester County / Delaware County Area. Rosters will be formed by our volunteer age group commissioners; they generally try to group teams by schools and coaches' practice locations. Your coach will provide practice information at least one week before the first game. We ask for your flexibility as numbers never work out perfectly. Please make a note during registration if there is a night of the week that you absolutely cannot make practice.

The Tournaments that Rush Flag Football particiapte in are FFL Tournaments and you do not need to have any affiliation with NFL Flag.

Although Rush Flag Football is structured as a Limited Liability Company (LLC), it operates with the heart and mission of a non-profit organization.
