Flag Football Season:

Our Flag Football season for 1st and 2nd graders is ran inhouse and will begin after Labor Day.  We will post more information regarding flag football as it gets closer.

 

Flag Football Super Saturday (CPHS):

The CDAA Flag Football Super Saturday is October 14, 2023. This will be our Flag Football Program Championship Tournament Day.  Times and locations will be posted. 

 

KINDERGARTEN FOOTBALL INTRO:

Our Kindergarten introduction to football program is ran inhouse.  We usually meet once a week for several weeks, going over fundamentals of football, skills intro, and play games related to football and football skills. 

 

PRACTICES / GAMES (VARIOUS):

This year we will be running an agility/skill development workshop along with our HEADS UP program during the first two weeks of organized practice.   All tackle football teams will practice together, and coaches will receive training during these initial two weeks.

Similar to previous tears, Tackle Football registration will be online.  Equipment will be handled out by team.  

The first two weeks of practices will be run at the high school.  We will combine groups by grade during these two weeks.  Practice schedules and locations are determined by head coaches and will vary by team.

Playing outside Your Age/Weight Group:

While we STRONGLY advise all participants to play at their grade level, we do on occasion allow a player to play up an age group.  In 2023, only players that assess in the top 5% of the age group they desire to play in for height or weight and speed will be allowed to play up.  We will strongly encourage and in some cases mandate that players play in their appropriate weight division. 

Parents/guardians must request an exception before sign-ups begin. A coach will also be contacted for input if possible. The final decision will be made by the CDAA Football Directors. All CDAA Football Director decisions are final.
 

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION:

**A $25 Non-resident fee will be applied to registrations for players living outside of Champlin and Dayton**

Your $150 deposit check will be held until the end of the season.  You will receive your check back when you have returned ALL your equipment in good condition and CLEAN.  If equipment is turned in dirty, a $25 cleaning fee will be assessed.

You must turn in an evaluation form to receive your deposit check back.  Coaches will hand out evaluation forms during equipment return.  It is very important that we know how the program is doing in the eyes of the parents and participants so we can improve.  These forms will be read only by the football directors and possibly the HS staff.  You may remain anonymous if you wish; however, signature of names is encouraged.

Changes and additional information will be added to the website on a regular basis.  Ensure to check for updates closer to the season.
