(12/17/2019 Note): Practice and Game times are FINAL! *7th and 8th grades will practice and play at College of San Mateo. Program will be run by College of San Mateo and Hillsdale High School coaching staffs.

All teams will play games through the entire 10-week program schedule regardless of their seeding in the Playoff Weeks.

The Next Level Winter Flag Football program seeks to foster an environment to teach and instruct the principles and techniques of flag football in a safe environment. We encourage all prospective participants to enter at their comfort level and grow their individual skills at their own pace throughout the season. Both male and female participants are welcome! All teams will have a student-athlete assigned as the Head Coach of their team. Student Coaches will be responsible to be the Offensive Play Caller for their team while any Adult Volunteer Coach will be enabled to manage the Defense Play Calls and assist the Student Coach with rotations from the sideline.

For our parents, we seek to keep your weekends free of tangled schedules. Team practice times will occur on the same day as your games, always one hour prior to game time. Practices scheduled outside of this time period (during any day other than game-day) are at the discretion of both the parents and the coaches yet are outside of the Next Level structure and not supported by Next Level Sports.

• No prior flag football experience is required to participant in the Next Level Flag Football Program.
• All flag football equipment will be provided.
• It is suggested that all players wear cleats or athletic shoes.
• Uniforms are included in the league registration fees, inclusive of home delivery of your uniform (for all registrations received before Dec. 15th).
• Our program is community-based, teams are formalized by schoolmates, buddy lists, and friends where possible.
• All teams will be assigned a Student Mentor Coach from a represented high school or college.

We strive to strike an ideal balance between healthy competition and player/character development. Next Level is always a 'one trophy' league as we believe that recognition for participation is not an effective means of helping develop young athletes. In fact, we believe that many of life's best lessons are learned through struggle, achievement, success and of course disappointment. We strive to foster competition yet to also find balance in the ever-changing world of youth sports.

Serra High School is where Next Level Flag Football originated and formalized operations. Seven years ago, Coach Walsh and partner Lance Smith had a vision to create a great a unique youth sporting experience to fit today's young athlete (and their families). Together Coach Walsh and Coach Smith have not only built a tremendous youth sports league but a thriving community for all Next Level participants throughout the Bay Area and beyond! Each season, we are reminded of the 'early days' of the program - one that has sought continued evolution and improvement with a sole focus to enhance the youth sporting experince for it's participants. The Serra/San Mateo location is now heading into its' 9th full season!
