YOUR FIRST SEASON

FROM SIGN-UP
TO FIRST CATCH.

01

Choose your league.

Review the confirmed field, age division, full cost, schedule, and policies. Join the interest list if your local program is still being planned.

02

Meet your team.

Look for your coach introduction, roster information, kit pickup instructions, and the season communication channel.

03

Find your rhythm.

Learn a little each week: throwing, catching, flag pulling, spacing, and teamwork. Your local program confirms practice and game times.

04

Celebrate & return.

Recognize the progress, enjoy your club identity, and choose another rec season or explore an optional next step.

Before leaving home

A FAMILY GAME-DAY MINDSET

CHEER THE EFFORT.
CELEBRATE THE TEAM.

Let coaches coach.

Encourage your player and leave game instruction to the team’s coach.

Help everyone belong.

Celebrate teammates, respect opponents and officials, and make room for learning.

Ask the local team.

Use the program’s contact route for placement, schedule, equipment, or game-day questions.

YOUR QUESTIONS,
BEFORE GAME DAY.

What should we bring on the first day?+

Bring water, weather-appropriate layers, and the required footwear and protective equipment listed by your local league. Check the field address, arrival time, and any player-kit pickup instructions before leaving.

How do we request a teammate?+

Ask about friend requests in your local registration. Mutual requests, age eligibility, and space may affect placement; the local program publishes its policy.

How will we hear about changes?+

Your local program will provide its communication channel and weather-update instructions with the season details. Confirm those before the first session.

Can a new player start here?+

BlitzFB is the recreational starting point for learning the game. Local age eligibility and team details will be listed before enrollment.

Do we need to join BAL later?+

No. Families can keep enjoying rec football. BAL is an optional travel pathway for players interested in the next level.

KEEP THE GAME
GOING AT HOME.

A few relaxed throws and catches can help a player feel more comfortable. Keep it fun, use suitable space, and let your child set the pace.
