No.

NFL FLAG provides a recognizable national platform for youth flag football, but individual organizations can offer very different experiences in terms of structure, coaching, practice frequency, competition, season length, and overall commitment.

That’s why we encourage parents not to choose a program based solely on the words “NFL FLAG.”

Look at what happens once your child steps onto the field.

Our program is intentionally designed around development and competition. Athletes practice twice per week, work on their skills throughout a 12-week season, and compete in tournaments against teams from across the Metroplex.

The difference isn’t simply the name on the jersey. It’s the experience behind it.

Our organization is partnered with NFL FLAG, giving our athletes the opportunity to participate in a program connected to one of the most recognizable names in football.

Our focus, however, goes beyond the name.

We use the NFL FLAG platform as part of an overall experience centered around player development, competition, teamwork, and a love for the game.

No. Our Dallas Cowboys Club designation should not be confused with being an official Dallas Cowboys youth team or being directly operated by the Dallas Cowboys.

Rather, it identifies our organization within the NFL FLAG club ecosystem associated with the Dallas Cowboys market.

What makes our program valuable is the combination of that NFL FLAG affiliation and our competitive team structure, coaching, training, and tournament experience.

We believe families should understand exactly what they are signing up for. We’re proud to provide an experience built around developing young athletes through the sport of flag football.

Convenience matters, but so does finding the right environment for your athlete.

If your child wants a casual introduction to flag football, a recreational league may be a great choice.

But if your child loves football, wants to improve, enjoys competition, responds well to coaching, and wants to challenge themselves against different teams, our program offers a more intentional development experience.

You’re choosing a program that provides:

• NFL FLAG affiliation
• 12 weeks of structured development
• Two practices every week
• Competitive tournaments throughout the DFW Metroplex
• A development-focused coaching environment
• Opportunities to build football skills and football IQ
• A team environment centered around commitment, accountability, and growth

Our goal for our competitive team isn’t simply to give athletes more games.

It’s to give athletes more opportunities to become better football players.

Competitive doesn’t mean that winning is more important than everything else.

It means we expect athletes to work, learn, compete, and continually improve.

Our athletes are challenged to develop:

• Strong football fundamentals
• Flag-pulling and defensive technique
• Route running and catching
• Throwing and quarterback skills
• Speed and agility
• Football IQ
• Communication
• Teamwork
• Confidence
• Discipline
• Resilience

We want athletes to learn how to compete while also learning how to respond to mistakes, adversity, coaching, and pressure.

Ask yourself:

• Does my child love football?
• Do they want to get better?
• Do they enjoy being challenged?
• Are they willing to practice twice a week?
• Are they excited about competing against different teams?
• Do they respond positively to coaching?
• Is our family willing to make a greater time and financial commitment to their development?

If the answer is yes, our competitive program could be a great fit.

Recreational football is about playing the game. Competitive football is about developing through the game.

Our program is built for the athlete who wants to do both.

Our program is designed for athletes who have a genuine love for football and want to develop their skills, compete at a higher level, and grow as athletes and teammates.

Unlike traditional recreational programs that typically focus on league play and participation, our competitive program provides a 12-week structured season, with two practices each week and competitive tournaments throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex.

The goal isn’t simply to play games. It’s to create an environment where athletes can learn, practice, compete, receive coaching, and continually improve.

Our competitive program is tournament-based rather than traditional recreational league play.

Instead of playing the same teams repeatedly in a weekly league schedule, our athletes compete in tournaments throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex.

This gives players exposure to different teams, coaching styles, athletes, and competitive environments while creating a more challenging and exciting football experience.

Tournament competition creates a different environment.

Our athletes face different teams throughout the season rather than simply following a predictable weekly league schedule. Tournaments can challenge players to adjust quickly, compete against unfamiliar opponents, and perform in higher-pressure situations.

These experiences help athletes develop confidence, composure, adaptability, and competitive maturity.

No. Not at all!

We care more about an athlete’s attitude, commitment, coachability, and desire to improve than simply how many seasons they’ve played.

Our coaches will teach the fundamentals and help athletes develop their skills. What we ask in return is that players come ready to learn, practice, compete, and support their teammates.

Absolutely!

Our program is best suited for athletes who want to learn, are willing to practice, and are excited about being challenged.

An athlete does not need to be the best player on the field to join a competitive program. However, they should have a desire to improve and be willing to commit to the expectations of a competitive team.

If your child is brand new to football and simply wants to try flag football for the first time in a low-pressure environment, a recreational program may be a better starting point.

Please select NFL Flag Football from our listed Programs. Select the appropriate age division based on your athlete's current age. Pay the non-refundable registration fee, select and pay for the season you plan to participate in, and complete all player onboarding requirements.

The Clear Elite x NFL Flag Football Season Fee is $450. This cost combines our 3-month, 12 week season, into one cost with each monthly cost totaling $150. This season fee does not include the registration fee or uniform cost.

Our program is a significantly different experience and requires a greater investment in both time and resources.

The cost reflects a 12-week competitive season, two practices per week, professional coaching and instruction, structured player development, tournament competition, and the additional resources required to prepare athletes to compete at a higher level.

Recreational programs can be a great introduction to football for families looking for a more casual experience. Our program is built for families looking for more development, more training, and more competition.

If your athlete simply wants to play flag football once a week, a recreational program may be the right fit. If they want to work on their game and challenge themselves against stronger competition, our competitive program is designed for that athlete.

For the right athlete and family, we believe it is.

You’re not simply purchasing a season of games. You’re investing in a 12-week development experience that includes two practices each week, competitive tournament opportunities, coaching, instruction, and a structured environment focused on athlete development.

The value is in the additional training, additional competition, additional coaching, and additional opportunities to grow.

Ultimately, the right program depends on what your family wants from flag football.

The total cost for a single NFL Flag Football season is $600. This fee includes the 3-month membership ($150 monthly), the non-refundable registration fee ($50), and the uniform cost ($100). *Please note there may be additional cost associated with the NFL Flag Football season.

Additional cost associated with the NFL Flag Football season may include, but not limited to tournament costs, travel costs, merchandise, food/beverages, etc associated with competing in the NFL Flag Regional and Championship Tournaments.

Our program is developmental. All athletes of our NFL Flag Football Program will have ample playing time during each tournament. We only ask that an athlete attends the mandatory training session of the week to be eligible to compete in that current week's tournament. 

The maximum players allotted for an individual team is 10 players. We highly encourage friends/groups of 5 to play and compete together to form a team roster. Individual sign-ups will be placed on open rosters.

We currently offer 8U-14U divisions for our NFL Flag program. Age divisions 8U-14U are sign-up based only. We currently do not offer NFL Flag for any other divisions.

(i.e., two 12U teams / two 14U teams)

The maximum players allotted on a team is 10 players. We strive to accept as many athletes as our coaching staff can manage.

Tournaments are hosted throughout the state of Texas. Please be prepared to travel. (Fort Worth, Prosper, Frisco, Melissa, etc.)

Practices are considered training sessions. There are 2 training sessions provided throughout the week. Each age division will have a designated day and time for practices/training sessions. This information is provided during our Parent Meeting after the season registration ends. 

All participants are expected to participate in the full season in which they have signed up for. Please note we do not reimburse or prorate the NFL Flag Monthly Membership Fee for missed practices and/or months of the 3-month season commitments.
