Evaluations, Player Draft and Season:
Pre-K and Kindergarten: These players stay in one group. This division runs as part-clinic and part-game as the coaches teach kids the most basic fundamentals of flag football.
All Other Age Groups: Players in all other age groups must attend ONE evaluation session. These will be held at Disbrow Hills Park and dates are tentatively scheduled as follows:
- July 13 from 6-7 p.m.
- August 13 and 14 from 9-10:30 a.m.
- August 15 from 6-7 p.m.
Team drafts will take place on August 17, 18 and 19 and is open to coaches only. This is a recreational league, and we use the evaluation and draft process to try and assemble teams of equal physical ability.
We also view flag football as a way to meet new friends. As a result, we do not accept requests to be placed with specific coaches or other players. Each team may have up to two coaches, and each coach will automatically get his/her son/daughter in the draft.
HEWYBL flag football typically draws players from Allentown, Bordentown, Cranbury, East Windsor, Hamilton, Hightstown, Millstone, Robbinsville, Roosevelt, West Windsor Yardville and other surrounding towns.
Game and Practice Schedule

You need to provide:
- A mouth guard (players may not participate without one)

- Receiver’s gloves are acceptable, but not required.
Kids’ feet grow fast! One of our former players, Kevin Clark, holds cleat exchange at each evaluation session. Please feel free to drop a pair and pick up a pair.
Volunteers
HEWYBL is a non-profit organization run 100 percent by volunteers. Each family is expected to donate at least one hour of time to help out during the season. We are looking for volunteers to lead the following efforts this fall:
- Coaches and Assistant Coaches
- Division Heads
- Evaluations
- Set-up and Clean-up
If you can help with any of these, please make a note of it on your registration and/or email me at hewyblflag@gmail.com
Coaches Clinic:
We will hold a coaches clinic in mid- to mid-August. If you are interested in coaching, but feel you would like to have a better understanding of the game, how to run a practice, etc., please reach out to at the address below so we can get you more details as they become available. We are a league run by volunteers and we DO need parental involvement, particularly as coaches.
