Competitive Flag Football - Fall 2025

 

 

 

 

About Meridian Flag Football

This is Meridian’s second season of Flag Football. All of our competitions will be within our league – Texas Charter School Academic and Athletic League (TCSAAL). We will have practices and host home games close to the Meridian campus at Rock Field. Away games could be anywhere in the Central Texas area.

 

Teams Forming Based on Registration

Due to insufficient registration, Meridian Athletics will not be able to form a Varsity Flag Football team for fall 2025. Meridian. However, registration does support offering one coed middle school team. Participation in tryouts is required to be considered for a team, and cuts are expected.
