I've never played football before, can I still play
for the Eagles?
Yes! We encourage new players especially in the younger
age groups where our coaches can help develop and teach
your young football player. Tackle football instills discipline,
structure and hard work.
When does the season run?
The official tackle football practice starts July 5th. The
regular season game schedule starts on August 14h and ends
on October 23rd. The playoffs and AYFL Super Bowl could
run until November 20th. During the month of May only,
any early registration may participate in an optional conditioning
camp for Coconut Creek Eagles early registrations only.
When are practices held?
The head coach will ultimately make the final decision with
regards to practice schedule however most teams will practice
M-F between 6:00PM - 8:30PM for approximately two hours.
Most coaches/teams will take one practice day off when
school begins. Practices will be at a Coconut Creek field
depending on the team.
When are the games played?
All tackle football games are scheduled for Saturday's. Occasional
makeup game due to weather could place a game on a different
day. The game time schedule is always the same time. The
Eagles have 7 weight divisions and they all play back to
back beginning with the Pee Wee division at 9:00AM. Approximate
start times for the other divisions are (9U - 10:30AM),
(10U - 12:00PM), (11U - 1:30PM), (12U - 3:00PM), (13U -
5:00PM), (14U - 7:00PM). Your head coach will give you
details.
Where are the games played?
The Eagles have a 11 game schedule plus possible playoff
games. We have six home games at our home field at Sabal
Pines Park. We also have five road games. In 2010, we will
travel to Pembroke Pines, Cooper City, Ft. Lauderdale,
Boca Raton and Northeast.
How much does it cost and can I pay payments?
The league registration fee is $190.00. There is a $10.00
sibling discount. Our program also provides away to recoup
your registration fee. Our league will provide each player
with $200 worth of $5 raffle tickets for our end of the
year league raffle. You sell the tickets to friends and
family and keep your funds. If you sell all of your tickets,
your registration ends up being free. If you can't sell
your tickets or choose not to sell your tickets, you can
fill in your family's name on all the tickets and you would
be eligible to win the cash raffle at the last home game
of the year. Your registration fee of $190 includes these
tickets.
In special circumstances, we will work out a simple non-interest
payment plan. Ask for details.

will also need to show proof of residency or a copy of
the City of Coconut Creek non-resident sports card. Current
physical will be required prior to first practice. Returning
Eagles players from last year will not need BC.
Is there a fee for equipment and uniform?
No, all equipment necessary will be provided for you. You
will be required to return everything except game jersey
which you will keep.
I am away until August, can I still register?
Tackle football practice/tryouts begin July 5th and it is
hard for most children to fall behind over a month. However
if your child has tackle football experience, you should
talk to the specific coach about their policy.
Can my child move up or down in divisions?
No, The league will assign all players to a team based on
age and weight.
Is my child guaranteed a spot on the team?
Beginning July 5th, the first two weeks of practice is generally
considered tryouts. If a coach feels your child could get
hurt or is a discipline problem or more than the maximum
allowed per team - then your child could be cut. Besides
a discipline issue, cuts (if any) are usually only during
the first two weeks
What if my child is cut from the team - will I get a refund?
Yes, All cuts will receive refund minus a small administration
fee.
Is my child guaranteed playing time?
No, The head coach ultimately decides playing time. The coaches
will work with your child in practice to get them better
prepared for game day. Tackle Football is a physical, competitive
sport and game day playing time is NOT mandatory.
