About the league

Now let’s dive into the electrifying world of the Westfield PAL Boys Flag Football program and discover a game experience like never before! Since 1998, we’ve been igniting the flame of football passion in kids from 1st to 10th grade.

Due to the popularity of the program the Westfield PAL Boys Flag Football program is ONLY open to Westfield residents, those attending school in Westfield, or others who have played with us for 2 or more years.

But it’s not just about the game; it’s about fostering enduring friendships, learning the ins and outs of football, and embracing sportsmanship like true champions. Our program isn’t just about touchdowns and flag pulls; it’s about the laughter, the camaraderie, and the memories that last a lifetime. Join us and discover the excitement of the Westfield PAL Flag Football Co-Ed program – where every moment is a touchdown of fun!

New and Important Updates for the 2025 Fall Season

New for the 2025 Season: 1st Grade-Only Division
The Westfield PAL Boys Flag Football program is excited to announce a brand new 1st Grade-Only Division for the 2025 season — open to both boys and girls!
This exciting addition comes directly from the valuable feedback we’ve received from our parents, families, and players. We heard you — and we’re proud to be evolving our program to better support the growth and enjoyment of our youngest athletes.

The new 1st Grade Division is designed specifically to:

  • Focus on learning the fundamentals of flag football
  • Promote teamwork, sportsmanship, and confidence
  • Provide a fun, supportive, and age-appropriate playing environment
  • Eliminate competition against older, more experienced 2nd and 3rd graders

By creating a dedicated space for our first graders, we’re ensuring that each player has the opportunity to learn the game at their own pace, build essential skills, and most importantly — have fun playing the game!
This is all part of our mission to help young athletes kickstart their flag football journey in the best possible way
