Sherwood Park Youth Flag Football is offering recreational and competitive NFL Flag for kids aged 4-17 years old. We are excited to offer recreational and competitive programming for the 2026 season!  Read more about all of our programs below.

Have fun and have a blast while playing like the pros! This division is geared towards all athletes - whether you are new to the game or looking to master your already established skills - this is the place for you.  While the official schedule has not been released, the first game will be held on May 2, 2026. The recreation division will be comprised of 8 games - 1 game per week that will be held on Saturday mornings on the grass fields in Emerald Hills with a Jamboree to wrap up the season. Please note - the SPYFFL schedule will be accommodating to the Edmonton NFL Regional tournament so that our teams have the chance to play in the tournament. The schedule for this has not been set but be aware this will mean that a Saturday game will be held on Sunday. Practices are all team dependant and to be set by your team's coach. Coaches will be instructed to reach out to the families on the team to get feedback on the best night for each family but the decision will ultimately be up to the coach as to where/when practice will be held. The league recommends no more than 2 practices per week leading up to the first game of the season and 1 practice per week during the season.  When you register, you will be asked to select which school your child goes to. This is how the teams are determined. SPYFFL will try to group neighborhood kids together so that you may have a friend or two on your team and your practice area will be close to where you live. SPYFFL will not accomodate requests to switch teams. 

This spring we are bring an exciting element to our league to allow our players an opportunity to play at a higher level and have the skill to bring that competitive edge. Players and coaches create their own teams rather than being put on a team in rec division. Teams can practice as many times as they would like each week and the individual touchdown rules do not apply in this division. These teams will compete for an opportunity to represent Alberta at Club Nationals in Brampton, ON in August 2026. Games will be played Friday nights in Sherwood Park. 8 game season with an additional “Championship Day”. Official playoff/championship schedule TBD. Please note **players and coaches MUST create their OWN teams**

This Spring, SPYFFL is adding a new division for our tiniest teams!  This division is for your kids TURNING 4 or TURNING 5 by December 31, 2026. Birth years in 2021 and 2022 will be accepted. 
The focus of this division will be to progressively teach our tots the fundamental movement skills required to play football while having a blast doing so! These kids will get the same equipment kits as the rest of the league and have their own area next to the fields where thre "big kids" play so that they too can #playlikethepros. There will be no official games in this division and therefore no weekly practices - this division will gather once per week on the Emerald Hills grass fields with the rest of their team and coach to facilitate their on-field experience. Our tots learn play with their own "mini football" and will go through a series of drills and games to enhance their learning experience. 

Weather cancellation policy - if games need to be cancelled due to the county closing fields or weather deemed too unsafe to play, games will be rescheduled after the following weeks games after the regularly scheduled games have played (field availability permitting).
