Please note that while girls' tournaments generally offer two-year age groups, our tryout registrations are organized by single-year age groups. This approach helps us maintain team continuity and support long-term athlete development. If necessary, odd age groups may be combined into even-numbered, two-year teams.

We are always seeking high-quality coaches. If you would like to be considered for a coaching position with your child’s team, please complete a Tryout Registration as a coach.

UNIFORM

A full uniform includes one game jersey, pocketless shorts, and socks. The game jersey is included and the other items are purchased separately.

REGISTRATION FEE

The Tryout Registration is free of charge. For those who make a Travel Flag team, the Seasonal Registration Fee is set at $550 per player. This fee comprehensively covers all team-related expenses, including participation in tournaments and leagues, payment for referees, field rentals, and necessary equipment.

SELECTED PLAYERS

Offers can be made at any time during the tryout process. Players may choose to accept an offer and secure their spot either by making a $200 deposit payment or by paying the full amount.

Selected players may also participate in our PENN FLAG Rec League. Please register for that as normal. Travel FLAG games and practices may conflict with regular PENN FLAG rec games and practices. We do our best to avoid scheduling conflicts, however, some conflicts are unavoidable.

PLAYERS NOT SELECTED

Prospective players not selected will be notified, which could be at any time during the tryout process.

PLAYING UP

All players must try out within their correct age group.

Generally, playing in an older age group is not permitted. However, exceptions may be made in specific circumstances where it is clearly in the player's best interest. This applies to players who are exceptionally dominant in their current age group and would benefit from a greater challenge. Any exceptions will be determined between the Travel Flag Director and the coaching staff.

Please note that requests to play in an older age group based solely on player or team preference will not be considered.
