When flag football is played in the Houston area
Flag football is commonly played in fall and spring, with short seasons of about eight to ten weeks.
Houston has long, hot and humid summers with frequent thunderstorms. Summer heat and humidity push many outdoor games to mornings and evenings, and afternoon thunderstorms bring lightning delays. Plan heat breaks, buffer time, and a fast way to tell families when play stops.
How to run a flag football league in Houston, TX
- Pick a format. Choose 5v5 or 7v7, field size and age brackets before you announce the league.
