EXCITING NEWS -
Registration for the 13th Annual NOVA Youth Flag Football League is NOW OPEN and
is expected to fill up quickly. Last fall season saw the league have a waiting
list of over 100 kids that had to be turned away due to the popularity of our
fall league program. Parents are being encouraged to sign up early for what
promises to be the most exciting fall league season in NOVA Youth Flag Football
League’s thirteen year history.
High anticipation for the upcoming fall season includes the addition of
several new positive features, including obtaining additional quality playing
fields in the Ashburn community thanks to NOVA Youth Flag Football League new
partnership with I9 Sports. The addition to our new playing fields (to go along
with our current fields) will enable the league to accommodate more kids into
our Fall League Season. This will also enable the league to meet the many
requests of parents over the years to go to a two year age group division format
as described below.
The NOVA Youth Flag Football League will also be using the vast large comprehensive infrastructure of the I9 Sports online platform to make registration faster and easier for all parents. Some additional benefits of the NOVA Youth Flag Football League partnership with I9 Sports besides additional fields in the Ashburn area and better age group divisions - includes more flexibility and timely ordering/shipment of equipment and jerseys as our league will now deal directly with the nationwide infrastructure of I9 Sports. As a result the NOVA Youth Flag Football League will no longer be sponsored by NFL Flag who had massive layoffs in the NFL Youth Football department this past year and could not guarantee delivery of our equipment and jerseys on time this fall season. The partnership with I9 Sports will guarantee that the NOVA Youth Flag Football League will have all equipment and jerseys several weeks in advance of opening day in September.
2010 marks our 13th season in providing youth flag football in the local community, but our league will also be operating our first ever Spring season next year in 2011. As a result to all of these new exciting features to our already highly popular organization, the NOVA Youth Flag Football League is extremely excited about the upcoming fall league season as a result of our new partnership with I9 Sports.

"Patriots (Mites), Vikings (Juniors) & Patriots (Majors) all capture Super Bowl Victories"
In the most exciting Super Bowl of the day, the Mites Division Patriots hung on to defeat the Vikings 7 to 6. The Patriots would strike first as game MVP Ryan Price broke off a long touchdown run to give the Patriots an early 7 to 0 lead. The Vikings would counter to pull within 7 to 6 as the defenses then took over for both teams. As the game was winding down with under 30 seconds left the Vikings drove to the Patriots 5 yard line when time expired.
The Junior Division Title game featured the undefeated Ravens who boasted the league's best defense all season long versus the undefeated Vikings. The Vikings would play a flawless game as they defeated a very tough Ravens team 21 to 0 to capture the Junior Division Super Bowl Championship. Dominic Diprenzio was named the game's MVP for his play on both sides of the ball.
In the Major Divisions, the Patriots capped off their unbeaten season by defeating the Chiefs 37 to 6. Bubba Lough ended his three unbeaten Major Division career by being named the game MVP. Congratulations goes out to the entire Patriots and Chiefs squad that played a true team effort game the entire season.
The NOVA Youth Flag Football League would like to thank all of the players, coaches, parents, referees & league officials for making the Fall 2009 Season a fun and rewarding experience for all to remember.
