Football

Hybrid Flag Football is designed for 4th/5th graders. The game is 8 on 8 and is played while wearing full football safety equipment, yet it is still flag football. The game rules are designed to expose players to the next level of competition. Whitewater Jr Whippets belong to the Badger East Youth Football League and have a 6 game season. Games are played on Saturday afternoons in surrounding communities within 50 miles. The season typically begins the 2nd week of August and ends on the 2nd Saturday in October.

The spring passing league provides players with an out of season opportunity to play positions that may not normally play during the fall football season, while providing quarterbacks and receivers with important offseason, game like reps.  It is 7 on 7 passing league flag football.  There is no running the ball, and no rushing the quarterback.  The season typically consists of spring practices once or twice a week during the month of April with weekend games during the month of April and early May.  There is no cost for participation.  ***  5th graders may be allowed based on sign up numbers ***
