The NFL FLAG Program along with the Long Island Flag Football League will once again for our 30th year offer zero-contact NFL Flag for boys & girls TEAMS, in separate divisions,  ages 5-17 years old at fields across Nassau County the Town of Oyster Bay. Last year’s program was a huge success with over 265 teams and over 3000 participants learning & enjoying Flag Football in a safe, NO CONTACT format. All games last one(1) hour and are played on Sundays sometime between 9AM-5PM beginning March 5th, at fields closest to where your team lives. The team fee is $1900 and that covers up to 11 players. You can choose to have under 11 players but the fee is still $1900 for the team.  Each child you add over the original 11 player fee  is an additional $170 per player.  You may assemble a team of whomever you like…..existing sports teams…friends…classmates. It’s your team. We will have Free Agents(unaffiliated with any team) for you to choose from should you need additional players to fill out your roster. If your child does not have a team please read info at bottom of this page regarding Free Agents.  NYS certified H.S. football officials are used and alternate play-dates are available for any Sunday game that conflict with religious holidays. There is ZERO blocking in flag football so it doesn’t require week-night practices that infringe upon a student’s homework/study time. There are six regular season games followed by play-offs(everyone makes the playoffs) and a Super Bowl. The season kicks-off Sunday March 5th. This program is not affiliated with any school districts. Cut-off date for Registration is February 22nd. The divisions are : 6U, 8U, 10U, 12U, 14, & 17U. Your team’s correct division is based on your players ages as of 12/31/22.

The price per team is $1900 ($1976 if using PayPal due to fees). Each team receives NFL FLAG jerseys, flag belts, and balls. To register your team, just mail your Coach Contact Info, Division desired, a roster of players with emails, and  your check to(made out to “LIFFL”): LIFFL, PO BOX 518, BETHPAGE, NY 11714.

With a broken heart, the league must announce the passing of Dan Alvino today. Dan was the 2nd Head of Officials for the LIFFL, serving in that capacity from 1992-2012. He was a Men’s League Head Referee from 1990-2019 for the Suffolk Division. Beloved by players and referees alike, Dan took over the LIFFL referees in its early days and turned it into the best Officials Organization in the Flag Football world. He served also as a crew chief “white hat” for Section 11(Suffolk High Schools) for 40 years. He is survived by his wife Claire, children Steven, Joseph, and Tracy, as well as numerous grandchildren. Commissioner George Higgins said “Dan was a Long Island Football Icon. Football on Long Island will never be the same without him.”

Left to Right

Jimmy Barbarise– Started playing in the LIFFL in 1989 when I played my first game. Starting as “Winner Sports bar” they won the title in their very 1 season.! I was my teams captain, coach, WR and FS. He played and won championships on other teams such as Mike’s Place and others. He eventually wound up on Darkside and won a couple more. His last was in 2001. Jimmy was featured in Newsday being interviewed by Calvin Watkins on the LIFFL championship Game at Giant Stadium.Jimmy played during the Golden Era against some of the best teams in the country every single week (Park Bench, Grazio Carting etc)

Mike Lupa-Over the last 12 years Mike played 8 man A, B, and C for the Phantoms and the Strong Island 49ers. 5-Man B & A for Cash Butter Nuggets, Bogarts, and the 49ers. Mike was the team captain for the Phantoms where he led his team to (3) 8 man championships where he was named MVP in all three Super Bowls. In winning those three championships in B he was voted as offensive player of the year due to his quarterback play. He also won a 8 man A full rush championship with the Strong Island 49ers. He has also won (8) 8 man tournaments. Lastly he has won (2) 9 man A championships with the Strong Island Bulldogs. Mike has played qb, running back, wide receiver, and defensive back in his 5/8/9man career. In addition to the Fall and Spring leagues he has won a night league 8 man championship as well. All together between 8-Man & 5-Man, Mike has won 30 Championships & 6 MVP’s

Kleet-Dave Kleet– coach/RB/LB for the past 20 years. He has won tournament championships, but being one of the toughest and physical players in the league for almost 2 decades, and running a Kleet Lumber who was a team that was always at the top of the standings in the high divisions, Dave never won a LIFFL Season Championship. A few years back Dave told the Coach of the Purple People Eaters how much he hated one of the players on Purples team.. Which of course led to them merging teams. After taking another crack at 9-man a couple seasons ago, Dave joined back with Purple People Eaters last Spring and was the offensive MVP of that Championship team

Justin Crisci- OL/DL- Justin started in the LIFFL in 2004 with the Clippers. The Clippers had a long run off success in the league winning multiple championships, and dominating the 9-man division. That is because of their line. Justin is a versatile linemen that can play Center or anywhere else on O & D-Line and will dominate anyone in front of him. Justin also represents the LIFFL on the national circuit playing with teams like Main Event. Along with all of his championships, most Recently the Fall 2017 9-man championship with the Main Event Clippers, Justin was honored by the USFTL at the Nationals as being selected as an All-American on the Offense. Justin is not only a dominant player, with multiple awards, he is also a class act on the field.
