FLAG
FOOTBALL
Lake Nona Youth Sports offers a co-ed flag football league during the winter and spring seasons! Our league is powered by “Under Armour Presents Under the Lights” flag football which is a national youth flag football league for kids in grades Kindergarten through High School. Under the Lights puts an emphasis on promoting a competitive, confidence building, non-contact experience for both boys and girls of all skill levels.
GENERAL LEAGUE FORMAT
7 game season plus playoffs or consolation games 6 v 6 format on 25-30 yd wide x 50 yd long fields.
NO pass rush, just a 3 -4 second sack count with a rushing rule in place. Emphasis on the pass game and run game limitations. Rosters are made up of 9 to 12 players based on registration numbers and coaching volunteers.
NO Tryouts. NO Drafts. Rosters are formed by “friend” or “coach” request. Single players will be placed on teams with some similarity and familiarity such as same school, neighborhood, organization, etc. as the other players on the team.
ALL coaches are volunteer parents and NOT provided by Under the Lights.
Trophies or medals are awarded to the Champions of the grade/age division. Food and DJ are on-site during games.
Players receive an Under Armour game shirt and shorts. Head Coach receives an Under the Lights youth football and coaches shirt.
This is a “Tournament League” so the Spring league Champion of each age division will have the opportunity to register for the Under the Lights – National Championships at IMG Academy.

Sports Combine
We also be host our Sports Combine at the end of the Spring flag season. The Combine takes place after the season and participation is included in the registration cost. The Sports Combine will be in partnership with Zybek Sports and will include laser measuring and timing of all the kids. Zybek provides the timing and equipment for the NFL Combine. This can be helpful for kids of all ages and will help LNYS assist in identifying the specific areas we need to improve for each individual athlete. All participants get a full workup of how they did, how they compare to other kids in their age group and how they compare to incoming College freshman.
