  • Grades 4-6 will be in a league with Fargo Park District and Moorhead Parks, this is a great option for youth to play more games but are not ready to play tackle football. Games will be scheduled in all three sites, please refer to your child’s schedule for more details. Grades 4-6 will start games prior to Labor Day.
  • “Buddy” Policy: Each Participant may request ONE friend as a “buddy”. The buddy requested must also request you in order for the buddy request to be considered a match. All other requests (e.g. multiple buddies, buddy chains) will not be granted. Requests to play on the same team will not be guaranteed. Siblings are always buddied unless a specific request not to do so is made. When siblings are placed together, no other buddy request is granted. To learn more about the “Buddy” Policy, please visit wfparks.org under football.

    • The children of each coach are automatically matched, and no other “buddy” requests will be considered.
