About the Fall 2009 Season
Registration for the 12th Annual NOVA "NFL" Youth Flag Football League 2009 Fall League Season will opened on April 15th. Due to the popularity of our programs, in Fall of 2008 the league had to turn away over 100 kids on our waiting list. So please make a note to register early this Spring to secure a spot in what is going to be our largest fall league season in league history in 2009. Our association was formed in 1997 and was the first youth recreational sports league to offer flag football as a program in the entire Virginia, Washington DC and Maryland area. This past Fall season saw the NOVA Youth Flag Football League enrollment of members to be one of the largest in the National Football League Youth Flag program. Our popularity continues to grow based on quality coaching, league management experience and the following of our core values in assisting parents in developing young athletes into quality young adults.

Practices are held also in the Ashburn and neighboring area's (there will be no teams practicing in the South Riding area this upcoming season).
SPECIAL REGISTRATION REQUESTS BY PARENTS or COACHES : Unfortunately special team placement requests no longer can be granted - The league honestly wishes it was possible to grant specific needs but we honestly get close to one hundred requests during registration. The NOVA "NFL" Youth Flag Football Program has grown so large over the years it has become logistically impossibly to accommodate all of these, therefore the league has voted not to grant any as it would not be fair to the others we had to deny.
