WELCOME TO NFFL

The next era of North Bay flag football is here! The Novato Flag Football League (NFFL) returns for another exciting season, running from January 3rd to February 28th, 2027, with games played at the Novato High School Football Stadium.

We're proud to offer three exciting divisions for 2027!

BOYS • GIRLS • CHALLENGER

BOYS DIVISION

Open to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders, our Boys Division features fast-paced 7-on-7 flag football utilizing the full width of the field.

Teams are formed through a draft to ensure competitive balance, giving every player the opportunity to develop skills, compete, and be part of a team.

GIRLS DIVISION

Our dedicated Girls Division returns for 2027! Open to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade girls, this division features exciting 5-on-5 flag football utilizing a quarter of the field.

Designed as a great introduction to the sport, the Girls Division welcomes players of all experience levels, including those picking up a football for the first time. With an emphasis on skill development, teamwork, and fun, it's a great opportunity to learn the game, build confidence, and be part of a team.

CHALLENGER DIVISION

We're excited to introduce our NEW Challenger Division for 4th–8th graders for the 2027 season!

Our Challenger Division is an inclusive, adaptive flag football program designed for children with physical, developmental, or intellectual disabilities, autism, or other additional support needs.

The division provides a fun, welcoming, and supportive environment where players of all abilities can participate, build confidence, make friends, develop skills, and experience the excitement of being part of a team.

Every child deserves a chance to play, belong, and be part of the NFFL family!

WHAT MAKES NFFL DIFFERENT?

We DRAFT our competitive teams to ensure true competitive balance — no stacked rosters, no lopsided standings, just tightly matched games all season.

Our Boys and Girls Divisions are coached 100% by high school student-athletes, bringing energy, leadership, and a fresh perspective to the field. Parents get to enjoy the action from the sidelines.

Across all divisions, our focus is on skill development, teamwork, sportsmanship, and creating a positive experience for every player.
