The Panini Senior Bowl will conduct an NFL FLAG Kickoff Camp on Monday, September 14, 2026 at the University of South Alabama Intramural Fields at 6450 John Counts Dr. Mobile, AL 36608 from 4:30pm-6:30pm. Attendance is STRONGLY encouraged for those who have registered for our NFL FLAG League. This camp is designed to teach the kids fundamentals/rules to play NFL FLAG and will also serve as an evaluation period to help us form balanced teams. Football cleats are recommended for this day and all events. Players are responsible for their own hydration.
NFL FLAG is a fun and exciting sport open to boys and girls ages 7-12. It provides opportunities for boys and girls to enjoy this country's favorite sport in a non-contact environment. Players benefit by being physically active while learning the fundamentals of football along with lessons in teamwork and sportsmanship. NFL FLAG teaches many of the same skills necessary to the tackle game and often serves as a stepping stone for players into padded football.
Registered NFL FLAG players receive a free joint parent-player membership to USA Football. Become a better player by using USA Football's online member tools and resources. The online Drills Library provides players with access to practice drills broken down by position. Learning drills is now easier with 2D and 3D animations. Drills include: Warm-up, Speed, Offense, Defense and Special Teams.
We are always looking for parents to sign up to be a Head Coach or Assisatant Coach. Please sign up and we will make sure your child is on your team!
Please contact the Senior Bowl staff at (251) 438-2276 for more information!
The players will be divided by age groups and placed on teams. Each participant will receive a jersey and flag belt. After each player is assigned to a team, they will practice for 40 minutes (5:00pm-5:40pm) with their coach and new teammates before playing a "preseason" game (5:45pm-6:30pm).
There will not be practices outside of the 30-minute warm-up and "practice" time scheduled for each team prior its first game begins each week. The plan is for each team to play regular season games on each Monday, with a total of 10 games to be played. This league is designed to be fun and a learning experience for the children, yet not require a large time commitment for parents and families.
All games will be played at the University of South Alabama Intramural Fields. This location is on-campus at 6450 John Counts Dr. Mobile, AL 36608.
Players should wear shorts, t-shirt, and football cleats if possible (not necessary but highly suggested). Players will receive their game jersey and flag belt during the first week (Sept. 15) and should wear that jersey and belt with shorts beginning week two.
Only siblings (who age-wise would play in the same division) may request to be on the same team. No buddy requests will be made this year. Thank you for understanding.
Players will be assigned coaches, unless a parent is coaching. That parent will be able to coach his/her child.
All games will be played outdoors, weather permitting. If games are cancelled due to weather, you will be alerted via email/text. We have built in an extra week at the end of the season to serve as a potential makeup date if games must be postponed due to weather.
Yes, if possible. Practice time will run from 4:30-5:00pm. Games will begin at 5:00pm starting in week two. We want all the children to experience our game, so we can work something out on an individual basis, if necessary.
Divisions are still being determined but none younger than 7 or older than 12.
Beginning week two, the divisions will play two games each week, for a total of 10 games. The team with the best record will be the league champion. Tiebreaker is head-to-head, and if necessary, point differential. Championship teams only (in each age division) will be invited to play in the annual Senior Bowl Turkey Bowl prior to Thanksgiving and are also awarded Senior Bowl tickets and parking passes for their family.
The jersey and flags are the players to keep following the six-week season.
