Club Flag Football
The Academy of the Holy Names is excited to offer a club flag football program this fall, via a partnership with RISE Flag Football. The Independent Flag Football League Powered By RISE will be a five-team league made up of the following Bay Area schools—Academy of the Holy Names, Berkeley Prep, Calvary Christian, Shorecrest Prep, and Tampa Prep.
With the popularity and demand for the sport growing, AHN is thrilled to have identified a way to incorporate flag football into our athletic schedule. Offering club flag football in the fall as opposed to during the FHSAA’s spring season allows the members of our league to offer the sport to our interested students during a time when there is more available field space.
Those earning a roster spot will be required to pay a $175 registration fee to RISE Flag Football, which will cover the costs associated with participating and competing in the league.
Players are held to the same standards as any other AHN student-athlete and would follow all policies, procedures, and expectations of AHN’s academic and student-athlete standards. For clarity, those participating in another fall high school sport (crew, cross country, dance, golf, swim & dive, volleyball, Jesuit cheer) will not be eligible to participate.
Please free to reach out to Head Coach Chris Severini with any questions.
