FLAG FOOTBALL
The North Penn Squires Fall Flag program is an intramural flag program for Kindergarten & 1st Grade athletes.
Our flag teams play in the ICFL (Inter County Football League).
Practices
Practices begin early August. Our fields are located on Hancock Road (across the street from Gwyn-Nor Elementary School)
In-Season Practices are typically Tuesday and Thursday from 6-7:30pm.
Practice is paramount in our efforts to maintain the safety of all players. Please discuss with your coach if and when you will be missing practices.
Heat Acclimation
North Penn Squires Football recognizes the importance of conditioning to allow players to properly hydrate and schedule rest periods accordingly while gradually increasing intensity with respect to high temperatures in the summer months.
Heat Acclimation occurs throughout the month of August. Please try to plan family vacations around this time, to allow your player ample time to condition properly.
Games
Games are scheduled on Saturdays or Sundays from September through late October. The majority of games are played on Saturday mornings.
Games will be played either at Squires Field or at our opponent’s field in the region (typically no more than a 40 minute drive). The game schedule will be available in August, before the start of the regular season.
