At the end of each season Marion County NFL Flag will choose All Star teams to travel and compete at the highest level against other teams regionally located in the Southeast. Using our elite travel team brand "Marion County Juice" we will build at least 1 Coed All Star team for the following Divisions - 6U, 7U, 8U, 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, 14U. In addition we will build Female All Star teams in 8U, 10U, 12U, 14U, & 17U. More than 1 All Star Team for each group may be built at the discretion of Marion County NFL Flag. Coaches are handpicked by the Marion County NFL Flag Board of Directors.
As a qualified NFL Flag Organization, anyone who participates in our regular season would be eligible to join our All Star teams where your child would have the opportunity to compete in any sanctioned NFL Flag Tournament tournament in the South Region or any "Super Regional" in the country. Each of the Regional Tournaments are represented by its respective NFL Team based on the location of the tournament. There are 32 Regional Tournaments held around the country, 9 of which are South Regional Tournaments and 4 are Super Regionals. Ultimately, we are eligible to play in 13 of the 32 Regional Tournaments.
By winning an NFL Flag Regional Tournament, it would then qualify your team to compete at the NFL Flag National Championships on July 17-20 in Canton, OH at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. At this event the games are televised line on ESPN & NFL Network while also livestreamed on the Gamechanger App. It is a special weekend for all participants involved as they are spoiled with great gifts from the NFL Team they are representing and get the opportunity to meet NFL Players who are being inducted into the Hall of Fame or have already been inducted.
In addition to the NFL Flag Regional Tournaments, our All Star teams will also compete in Exhibition Tournaments hosted by organizations such as Elite Youth Tournaments and Flag Football Life (FFL), Hard Count Athletics, & Superhero Sports (SHS). SHS is the host of world's biggest annual flag football World Championships at Disney World known as the Youth Flag Football World Championships. Age groups for all of these other associations include 6U, 7U, 8U, 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, 14U
There are 3 separate divisions for each coed group at the NFL Flag Regionals:
1) Coed - The Coed division is ultimately the Elite Division where these are for teams who are handpicked All Star Teams who trying to build the best team possible. Age groups include 8U, 10U, 12U, 14U
2) Recreation - This is geared more towards teams who may not be as Elite. The only teams who may qualify are those associated with Boys & Girls Club, Police Athletic League (PAL), YMCA, Jewish Community Center (JCC), and Parks & Recreation. Marion County NFL Flag is no longer eligible to participate in the Recreation Tournament Division.
3) All Girls Divisions for 10U, 12U, 14U, 17U. There is only 1 division each Girls Age Group. There is no split of Coed Elite and Recreation.
