Welcome to the Westfield PAL Flag Football home page!
The Westfield PAL has sponsored a flag football league since 1998. This program is restricted to participants in 1st through 9th grade. There are three separate divisions: Division III for grades 1-3, Division II for grades 4-6, and Division I for grades 7-9 for the school year starting in September. Starting in 2022, the Westfield PAL is also proud to be offering a girls-only program for girls in 2nd through 7th grades. Girls are welcome to play in the girls-only program or to continue to play in our traditional program, which has always been and will continue to be co-ed.
All games are played at Tamaques Park in Westfield on Saturday mornings, with the 2022 season starting on September 10 and ending on November 19. Division III (grades 1-3) play from 8:15 AM until 9:45 AM. Division II (grades 4-6) play from 10:00 AM until 11:30 AM. Division I (grades 7-9) play from 11:45 PM until 1:00 PM. Volunteers and coaches are urged to participate. All coaches must undergo a required background check.
Registration fee is $70.00 per player with a family limit of $210.00. Due to the popularity of our program, the program is now only open to Westfield residents, those who attend school in Westfield, or others who have played with us for 2 or more years. Registration for the 2022 season is due to close on September 8, but on August 15 we will begin to assess a late fee of $20 per player. To register, please go to "Available Programs" under the "Registration Info" tab above and find the section for Westfield Flag Football. Questions may be directed to John Cronin, League Coordinator at [email protected], or Al Youssef , League Coordinator at [email protected]

And finally, our program is really all about creating an environment where the kids can get involved, learn about football, experience great sportsmanship, and overall have a terrific time. Note that flag football is a non-contact sport, with no blocking, pushing, shirt-grabbing or tackling allowed. We do have an official rules document which many might find helpful. People should read these from the perspective of ensuring an emphasis on sportsmanship, fair play, and fun.
