Due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis and many other factors surrounding the launch of our Inaugural Flag Football Season. The SCRA Board has voted to postpone flag football for the spring season.
The Board does recognize the need for a SCRA flag football league and is working to accomplish this objective.
If you have any questions, please contact SCRA Football Commissioner Sean Gallagher at

Attendance is strongly encouraged but not required. Those coaches who cannot attend will have their roster auto-drafted based on the player evaluations and next available player.
Rulebooks will be available for download after you have completed your registration. Parents: please read the rulebook since there are variations from what you're accustomed to seeing in tackle football.
All players will receive a flag football jersey to keep!
All players will be issued a South Charlotte Patriots helmet. This is for added protection as well as to give all flag football players the experience of competing on the field while wearing a helmet.

Registration: $145 per player
Any unpaid registrations will be deleted after 48 hours and you must re-register before the close date.
Parents must submit a deposit check for $150 to receive a helmet. The check will not be deposited into our bank account; therefore, we will return or destroy checks upon receipt of the helmet at the conclusion of the season.
