Dear Next Level Flag Football Families at Serra:
I can’t believe we are entering our last regular season weekend! On tap is another beautiful weather day for Sunday March 22nd…what a difference a week makes! The rain was fun (kind of) I’ll take 72 degrees and perfect weather any day of the week.
I wanted to take this opportunity to explain our scheduling and our playoff system now that we are nearing the 2015 finish line. Our scheduling software does not allow us to list our playoff games until we know who is playing (I agree, not sure why we can’t list To Be Determined games and we are working with the software company to fix it.
We understand that your online schedules end on February 22nnd 2015…but everybody is guaranteed a 10 game season. We started on Sunday January 4th with the scrimmage and the 2015 season will end on Sunday March 8th for the majority of our Serra/CSM Teams. Teams playing for the Step Up Bowl Championships in grades 1st – 6th will play the Championship Games on Sunday March 15th @ Serra.
Please read below for further playoff details on all of our divisions.
