There are no tryouts and no drafts, everyone plays every game, there is no fundraising, and practice happens once a week right before the game. Officials are trained, and a When in Doubt Sit Out concussion policy covers parents and coaches. Its northern Columbus office lists fall 2026 sign-ups in Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard, Dublin, Polaris and Westerville, with a girls-only flag football league for grades 1 to 8.
