The Sandy Spring Falcons are a proud USA Football Heads Up Program and offer tackle football for players ages 13-15 in 7th and 8th grade. SSAA competes in the Rockville Football League for instructional and tackle football. Rockville Football League is the one of the oldest independent Youth Tackle Football League in the state of Maryland. It operates in two skill divisions (Navy, Army ) at each age group ranging from introductory/instructional to advanced and highly competitive.
Players between the ages of 5 and 14 are eligible to participate in the Tackle Division.
RED STRIPE RULE: The Red Stripe concept allows heavier players to play football with children their own age, but in a restricted role. Red Stripe Players are limited to playing on the offensive and defensive lines between the tackles. They may not advance the football.
Information about Flag Football is coming soon.
The Sandy Spring Falcons have a lineage of successful football teams. This success is directly attributable to the quality of the coaches who have volunteered their knowledge, experience, and time to our young athletes. We are currently accepting applications for the football coaching positions. If you are interested, please complete the forms on the Volunteer Forms below and send to football@sandyspringfalcons.org.
