East Puerto Rico Flag Football League

Our Mission

Flag football on the east side of Puerto Rico — open to every player, built from the ground up, run entirely by people who love the game.


Who We Are

An Open League. No Barriers. No Exceptions.

The East Puerto Rico Flag Football League is a non-profit organization led and run entirely by volunteers. Every coach on the sideline, every person setting up the field, every organizer sending out the schedules — nobody is getting paid. This league exists because people believe in it enough to give their time to it. That's what makes your support matter so much. You're not funding a business. You're keeping a community effort alive.

"Open League means Open to All — regardless of where you live, what school you attend, or what level you played at before. If you can get to the field, you can play."

There are no tryouts. No invite-only rosters. No skill requirements. We don't care if you've never touched a football or if you've been playing for years. This league was designed specifically so that none of that is a barrier. The east side of Puerto Rico has talent that hasn't had a real place to develop — and we're here to change that.

What We're Building

Development First. Always.

The goal was never to find the five best athletes in the region and put them on one team. That's easy. What's harder — and more meaningful — is building something where every kid who shows up gets real coaching, real reps, and a real shot at getting better.

We teach the fundamentals. Routes, footwork, reads, communication — the things that make a player, not just an athlete. Because when you develop players the right way, the wins take care of themselves. And more importantly, the kids stay in the sport. They come back next season. They bring their friends. The league grows.

Open to All

No skill requirements, no school restrictions, no previous experience needed. Show up and you belong here.

Teach the Game

We focus on fundamentals first. The goal is players who understand the game — not just kids who run fast.

Grow the Sport

From local leagues to island-wide tournaments to international competition — we're building flag football in Puerto Rico from the ground up.

The Bigger Picture

A Welcoming Environment. A Growing Sport.

Puerto Rico has always had the athletes. What it needed was the infrastructure — leagues that run consistently, tournaments that attract outside competition, and programs that develop players from youth all the way through adult divisions. That's what we've been quietly building in the eastern municipalities for years now, one Friday night game at a time.

Teams from Humacao, Ceiba, Las Piedras, Luquillo, Juncos, Caguas and beyond compete in our league. Our travel teams have gone to Las Vegas to represent the island. And now we're hosting our own international tournaments here at home, inviting teams from the mainland and other countries to come see what east Puerto Rico can do.

None of that happens without the foundation — the open, welcoming, development-first environment we've built locally. That's the mission. Everything else grows from there.

This League Runs on Volunteers

If you want to get involved — as a coach, a referee, an organizer, or just someone willing to help set up on game night — we want to hear from you. The more people who invest in this, the stronger it gets.

Important League Information: Rules, Regulations, and Referee Handbook Updates

We want to make sure everyone is on the same page when it comes to rules and regulations, so be sure to check out the USA flag football rule handbook. It's crucial that we all understand the rules of the game to ensure fair play and sportsmanship on the field.

Additionally, for our referees out there, don't forget to review the ref handbook to brush up on your officiating skills. We appreciate all of our refs and their hard work in keeping our games running smoothly and fairly. Thank you for your dedication to the sport!

As always, if you have any questions or need further clarification on any league information, feel free to reach out to our league coordinators. Let's continue to have a fun and competitive season together!
