2025 Westfield PAL Girls Flag Football




Westfield PAL Girls Flag Football

Our Mission 

Our mission is to empower girls to work together as a team in a fun and safe (non-contact) environment while developing a love of flag football. Our league supports positive values and promotes health, wellness, and self-esteem to inspire and motivate girls to succeed both on and off the field.

We are looking to grow Girls Flag Football in Westfield, provide athletic gear, training for coaches and team building activities. Our league also promotes personal health and continues to enhance the program and overall experience. In recognition of our important role in the community, we will be partnering with local charities that share our mission.

League History

The Westfield PAL Girls Flag Football League rang in our Inaugural Season in September 2022, and had an even more successful 2023 & 2024 Fall Seasons with more than 330 girls participating. We are now gearing up for the 2025 Fall Season. We are among the first girls flag football programs in NJ and excited to bring this sport to our town. Interest in girls flag football is exploding worldwide, and it is now an official Olympic sport for 2028. Nike and the NY Jets are sponsoring Girls High School Flag Football throughout NY and NJ, and in the Spring of 2025, Westfield High School Girls will be playing its third season in the Big Central Conference!

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 will have 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
 
*The Westfield PAL will never turn away any players because of financial hardship. Please email Brian Surowitz ([email protected]) with any questions on our scholarship program.

2025 PAL TACKLE FOOTBALL

The Westfield PAL sponsors competitive tackle football travel teams for 3rd - 8th graders.

The teams will participate in the North Jersey Suburban Youth Football League (NJSYFL).

All registrants will be placed according to their grade in September 2025 (there are no tryouts).

The season will kick off with a mandatory "Training Camp" that will likely commence on August 11, 2025.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL REGISTERING FAMILIES!

As the success of the Westfield PAL youth athletic programs has continued to grow over the past several years, the need for volunteer help has continued to increase. Going forward, we are asking all participating families to play a small role in helping out our volunteer coaches, staff and directors. 

As a condition of your child's registration with the PAL, at least one parent or guardian for each participating family (who isn't on the coaching staff) may be asked to assist during practices, games or match days at some point during the season. These non-coach volunteers will be part of a support pool managed by a team parent with volunteer schedules set at the beginning of the year.

Assuming full participation, we don't believe this will be a huge ask; especially considering our coaches and directors will be putting in countless hours of work on a weekly basis. If there are days you are unavailable to volunteer or have a special circumstance that prevents you from volunteering, please note this in the Team Staff section and we will try and accommodate your situation.

Volunteer duties include game day chain operation (chain gang), providing orange slices for players at half time, spotters and announcers as well as concession sales. If you are interested in being an administrative team parent or coach, please note that in the Team Staff section of registration.
