XFLAGFOOTBALL was Founded in the summer of 2007 by 5 experienced flag football players, making it the longest running flag football league in the US. The Founders played in different adult flag leagues in Southern California for many years. After realizing that many leagues were putting profits first and not the players, XFLAGFOOTBALL’s Founders decided to make a change and start XFLAGFOOTBALL - a league for the Players, by the Players.
XFLAGFOOTBALL is committed to providing the best possible experience for its players, friends, and family. XFLAGFOOTBALL’s mission is to provide a safe, competitive, and family orientated environment. We provide our players a means to exercise, stay in shape, and meet others with similar interests. We strive to promote health, fitness, recreation, sportsmanship, camaraderie, and friendly competition. XFLAGFOOTBALL believes in giving back to the community via fundraisers, charitable donations, and partnering with local schools to manage their off season passing leagues.
