Registration is under way for the 46th season of the Plant City Recreation and Parks Department/Optimist Youth Flag Football Program.
The program is for all area boys and girls ages 4-15 (as of Nov. 1), with a birth certificate required.
The program is intended for children who want to play in an atmosphere of fair play and good sportsmanship.
Last year, about 300 children played in five age groups. Games are on Saturday mornings for co-ed ages 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, 10-12 and 13-15 at the Otis M. Andrews Sports Complex, 2402 E. Cherry St.
No hard pads or helmets are allowed.
There will be no practices and no coaches. Teams meet each week, and instructing officials are assigned to the teams to ensure each player carries or catches the ball. Subs are rotated evenly and assist in play-calling if needed.
The Plant City Recreation and Parks Department will provide basic training in football skills and rules along with positive leadership to build the character and overall citizenship of the players.
Registration must completed by Sept. 5 to be guaranteed a team. The season will run from Sept. 22 through Nov. 3. The cost is $35 per player for the seven game season, which includes a jersey and accident insurance.
Registration can be made at the office, 1904 South Park Road, or by phone, (813) 659-4255.
