2025 Spring Flag Football

2025BYC Raiders Spring Flag Football Program

Overview
BYC Raiders will be participating in the YCJFA Youth Flag Football Program for the Spring 2025 season. Teams being assigned and practices will begin in March. Games will begin in April. Games will be played 5-on-5 and will last approximately 1 hour (2–20-minute halves with halftime and limited clock stoppage). We will have practices at least 2 weeknights per week. Practice will be at least 1 hour (maybe more, if needed). Games will be on Saturdays or Sundays. Final practice schedules will be distributed once teams have been assigned. The game schedules come out from the league in late March.

Eligible Players
The Flag Football Program is open to boys and girls who are age 5-14 as of January 1, 2025, and who meet one of the following residence criteria:
  1. Currently reside in the York City School District; or
  2.  Do not reside in the York City School District, but BYC Raiders is the closest participating program to the player’s home (for example, players residing in North York are Central School District, but are eligible to participate with BYC Raiders).
Any questions regarding eligibility for a specific player should contact [email protected] prior to completing registration.

Team Information
Teams will be fielded in each of the following age divisions:

  • 8U - Players ages 7 and 8 as of January 1, 2025

  • 12U - Players ages 11 and 12 as of January 1, 2025
  • 14U - Players ages 13 and 14 as of January 1, 2025
Teams will be comprised of 5-10 players, BYC will try to have as many teams as possible in each division. This will depend on how many registrants we get.

At all age levels, players will be evaluated via our combine to provide coaches with as much information as possible when selecting their teams. All players should plan to attend the combine. Failure to attend the combine does not mean your player cannot participate, but it may impact their team assignment as the player will be assigned based solely on whatever information available at the time. Following the combine, BYC coaches will draft individual teams, with teams at each level being drafted with the intent of having balanced teams within each age level and division. Players may not request to be paired together and no requests for assignment to a specific team or coach will be honored. Other than siblings wishing to play on the same team, there will be absolutely no exceptions to this policy.

Coaching Information
We are currently looking for Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches. No experience is necessary, but general knowledge of the game is helpful. If you are looking for something fun to do a few nights a week and a couple of hours on the weekends, please consider becoming a part of the BYC Family as a coach. While there is not an extensive review process, you will have to complete a PA State Background Check, and a PA Child Abuse Clearance. Links to both clearances can be found on our website: www.bycraiders.com BYC Raiders > Home

 Individuals wishing to volunteer as Head or Assistant Coaches can apply via the below link:

Referees
Unlike other leagues, our league does not rely on our coaches to referee games. Paid referees are assigned by the league, and they are actively recruiting individuals interested in referee positions. As stated above, games last about 1 hour. Referees are paid $20 per game. This is a perfect position for kids (16+) that are looking for a part-time job, or anyone who might just be looking to make a few extra $$$. If you think this is something for you, please reach out to James Welch, WYBC Football Commissioner, @ (717)841-6552. He can direct you to the certification class that begins in February.
