The cost for Raptors Flag Football can change from year-to-year primarily based on our field provider’s adjustments in field usage fees. The cost to play girls flag football in 2026 is $350 per child if registered and paid in full prior to closing registration or age groups reaching capacity.

Late registration begins on July 1 however, we anticipate selling out early. Any registration and or payment received after July 1st will only be placed on a roster if space is available.  Once we reach capacity we will move late registers and unpaid registrants to a waitlist. After the deadline Raptors assesses a late fee of an additional $50 per child. Players registering late are only placed on a team if space is available. Registrations must be paid in full to be placed on a roster.

Registration without a payment does not "hold" a spot on any roster.
