Antioch, IL (May 4, 2026) – Registration is now open for the Village of Antioch’s new NFL FLAG Football League, the Parks and Recreation Department announced today. The program is endorsed and sanctioned by the National Football League. The league welcomes students in grades 3 through 8 of all skill levels. Practices begin the week of August 24 at Sprenger Park, with Saturday games scheduled from September 5 through October 31 (no games October 10). “The Village of Antioch is excited to bring NFL FLAG football to our community and give local youth a fun, inclusive way to stay active, build skills, and be part of a team,” said Director of Parks and Recreation Katie Kotloski. “This league is a great opportunity for players of all experience levels to learn the game, grow their confidence, and enjoy a high-quality recreational program close to home.” Each player receives an official NFL reversible jersey. Players are required to provide their own black shorts, mouth guards and shoes (cleats are optional). The registration deadline is July 19. The fee is $136.

Volunteer Coaches Needed The Village is recruiting volunteer coaches to lead NFL FLAG Football teams. Selected volunteers will receive one complimentary league registration at the resident rate (non-residents pay an additional fee). The Village will provide coaches with the complete NFL FLAG Playbook, structured practice plans, skill-based drills, small-sided games, and access to instructional videos created by NFL FLAG coaching experts. Coaches must pass a criminal background check and sex offender registry check, attend a pre-season coaches meeting in mid-August, and complete Heads Up Concussion Training.

At the same time, the balanced budget invests in roads, parks, water and sewer infrastructure and public safety – without taking on new debt – to ensure the community continues to thrive both now and in the future.
