Players must provide their mouthguards for all practices and games.

Coaches: Coaches in the 2nd- 5th grade leagues will be CARD volunteers. Coaches in the 6th-8th grade leagues will be CARD-paid staff.

Locations: Practice and games will be held at DeGarmo Park at 199 Leora Court. Specific field locations will vary based on availability.  

Special Requests: One buddy request can be made during the registration process. Coach and practice requests are not accepted. Please read the buddy request process closely to ensure it is valid. Buddies must request each other to be a valid request.

Team Formation:  Teams are loosely formed by grade and school.  While players register by school, leagues are run solely by CARD and are not affiliated with school districts. CARD may add players to teams as needed. Registering below the team max does not guarantee your school won't be combined with others—our goal is to ensure everyone plays. Leagues may combine genders or grades if numbers are low. This is common in flag football. Final team placement decisions are made by CARD Recreation staff in the best interest of participants and league balance.  All teams will be formed at the discretion of CARD staff, based on skills evaluations if necessary. 

Weather: All changes to field conditions and weather updates (rain, air quality, etc.) will be made one hour before your scheduled practice or game at www.ChicoRec.gov/fields. If necessary, games will be rescheduled up to one additional week.
