New Flag Football Program, and Field Hockey Returns
Talbot County Parks and Recreation reminds families that registration is open for fall programs, including Field Hockey and the department’s first-ever Flag Football League. The deadline to register for Flag Football and Field Hockey is Friday, August 8; space is limited.
The Flag Football League is open to co-ed players ages 6 through 14. No football experience is necessary. Participants will have practices and games on the same day, with a 30-minute practice followed by a one-hour game. Most Sundays will be at Talbot Parks Community Center while some games will be held in Queen Anne’s County against their teams; games take place on Sundays. Practices and games begin Sunday, September 7. The fee is $85 per player; a $20 late fee applies after the registration deadline.
The Field Hockey League is available for students in grades 1 through 8. No previous experience is required. Players in grades 1 and 2 will practice one evening per week, while grades 3 through 8 will practice two evenings per week. Games are held on Saturdays at the Talbot County Community Center fields. Players need to provide their own stick, shin guards, and mouthguard. Practices begin the week of August 25, and games start Saturday, September 6. The cost is $85 per player; a $20 late fee applies after the registration deadline.
“We look forward to seeing kids and families come out for another great season of fall sports,” said LaDarian Blake, Assistant Director of Parks and Recreation. “This year we are especially excited to launch our Flag Football League, which gives younger athletes a chance to experience the game without full contact, while learning skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship.”
