About the provider
Carl Ehrlich is the Commissioner. He says he captained the Harvard football team and played professional football in Valencia, Spain. The program says it is run with the Flag Star Football Foundation and includes scholarships and financial aid, and that it has never turned a kid away due to money. It describes itself as a league for everyone, with positive coaches, supportive parents, compassionate referees, and low-pressure environments where kids can just play.
Open to all skill levels. Priority placement goes to pre-formed teams, but free-agents are accepted. Parent-coached and pro-coached team options are both offered. If unhappy with the field location, players can withdraw with a full refund. The program says every kid deserves a chance to play and they will never turn a kid away for money.
