(4) Can my child participate in the Fall NFL Flag season if they don’t participate in the Spring Launch Academy?
A: Spring Launch Academy participation is definitely not a prerequisite to Fall NFL Flag participation. We simply think our Launch Academy sessions are enjoyable training and competition on their own but also believe they offer the best preparation for full season and game events.
(5) Where will the NFL Flag games be held?
A: We are dependent upon the availability and generosity of area facilities and fields. Final determination on the location of our sessions may be affected by the number of registrants per age for any given NFL Flag season. One of our coaches or staff members will call or e-mail you prior to the first session to let you know where to report and when. All Shawnee NFL Flag games will be at Shawnee Sports Complex (1 Salango Way, Dunbar, WV 25064).
(6) What is the age range for the NFL Flag seasons?

(3) What equipment is needed for the Launch Academy?
A: None. Cleats are highly recommended and mouthpieces are always a good idea but nothing is required. We’ve got the flags and footballs. Come as you are!
