Flag Football Registration Is Now Open

Introducing Pend Oreille Pines Flag Football for Summer 2026

We are excited to officially launch Pend Oreille Pines Flag Football for Summer 2026.

This new program expands our commitment to providing high-quality youth sports opportunities in our community. Flag football offers a fun, fast-paced environment where players can learn the game, build skills, and compete each week while enjoying the energy of team play.

As this is our inaugural season, we are building the program from the ground up and look forward to seeing players take the field for the very first time.

Divisions

The Summer 2026 season will be organized into grade-based divisions to ensure players compete and develop at an appropriate level.

Planned divisions include:

  • 2nd Grade Division
  • 3rd and 4th Grade Division
  • 5th and 6th Grade Division
  • 7th and 8th Grade Division

Final division structure will depend on registration numbers, but our goal is to create balanced teams and a great experience for every player.

A Weeknight Game Experience

One of the unique features of Pines Flag Football is our weeknight game format.

Games will be played on weeknights rather than weekends, giving families a consistent schedule throughout the summer and keeping weekends more open. Players will still get a full season of games in a fun and competitive environment.

Registration Now Open

Registration for the Summer 2026 season is now open.

The Pines Flag Football program is built around:

  • Strong, supportive coaching
  • Skill development for all levels
  • A fun and competitive weekly experience

Because this is our first season, early registration is especially important. Player counts directly determine the equipment we need to order, including flags, footballs, and jerseys for each division. Registering early helps us prepare properly and ensures every player is ready from day one.

If you are planning to play, we strongly encourage you to sign up as soon as possible.

Communication and Scheduling

POSA will continue using SportsEngine as our central platform for the season.

Through SportsEngine, families will be able to:

  • Complete registration
  • View schedules
  • Communicate with coaches
  • Receive important updates

Coaching Standards

We are committed to providing a safe and positive experience for every player. All Pines coaches are required to be:

  • Background checked
  • Concussion trained
  • SafeSport certified

Community Support

We are proud to keep program pricing unchanged for Summer 2026. Registration fees cover core program costs, and support from local partners helps keep participation affordable for families.

We appreciate the continued support of our Community Supporters, including:

  • Kalispel Tribe of Indians
  • Condron Homes
  • Merkle Standard
  • USL Spokane
  • Petroglyph Printing
  • Treble

Built by Volunteers

POSA is entirely volunteer-run. Every board member, coordinator, and organizer is a parent or community member donating their time to make these programs possible.

This program does not run without volunteers.

If you are able to help this season, whether coaching, assisting a team, or supporting behind the scenes, we encourage you to step forward.

We are excited to kick off this new chapter for Pend Oreille Pines and look forward to seeing players and families out on the field this summer.

Let’s make this inaugural season one to remember.
