PYFFL Games Postponed 9/25 & 9/27

With a Nor'easter expected to impact our area this weekend, we've made the decision to postpone all PYFFL games scheduled for Friday, September 25th and Sunday, September 27th.

The storm could bring more than three inches of rain, wind gusts exceeding 50 mph, potential power outages, and flooding.

While it may not be raining during our games on Friday night, the dangerous winds associated with this storm are expected to already be impacting our area. 

With the potential for hazardous conditions throughout the weekend, we believe postponing all games is the right decision for the safety of all involved.

Rescheduling Games

We plan to reschedule all postponed games across Divisions 1 through 9. With a limited number of weekends remaining in the season, finding room for an entire weekend of games is going to be a challenge.

In order to make everything fit, some teams will need to play more than once on a Sunday. We know that's not ideal, but it's the reality of trying to get all of our games played before the end of the regular season.

We ask for your patience as we work through the makeup dates and figure out how to fit everything into our remaining schedule. There are a lot of moving pieces, and we want to make sure we get it right. We'll share the updated schedule as soon as it's ready, and all changes will be reflected in Crossbar.

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.

📸 PYFFL Picture Days - 9/20 & 9/27

Picture Days are coming up on Sunday, September 20th and Sunday, September 27th!

Eastern Exposures will once again be taking both team photos and individual player photos. Please check the attached schedule carefully for your team’s assigned picture date and time.

We will follow up prior to each Picture Day with the specific photographer locations at the fields so everyone knows exactly where to report. UPDATE: For Sun 9/20, the location is behind Field A, beyond the right field fence.

A quick uniform reminder: All players should be wearing their 2026 Black PYFFL shorts for Picture Day, just as they should for every game this season. Our team sponsors are proudly displayed on those shorts, and we want to make sure they are represented in our team photos.

Pre Order Your Photos!

The easiest and most efficient way to purchase your photo package is to pre order online through Eastern Exposures before your scheduled picture time.

Order envelopes will also be available on Picture Day, but we strongly encourage families to use the online pre order option whenever possible. Eastern Exposures asks that online orders be completed prior to your scheduled picture time.

Off Day Photos

We were able to schedule the overwhelming majority of our teams for pictures on a Sunday when they are already at the fields for a game. Unfortunately, there are eight teams that do not have a game on either September 20 or September 27, so their scheduled picture time will require an extra trip to the fields

Game On! We're Playing Today

Good morning PYFFL!

As of 6:45 AM, we are a GO for all 8:00 AM games.

Our 8:00, 9:00 and 10:00 AM games will be dealing with some rain, but at this point we likely won’t have to worry about the heavier bands until sometime around Noon.

The plan is to play through it.

And honestly, this could end up being a ton of fun. Some of the best football memories are made on days like this. Rain, wet footballs and kids having an absolute blast with their teammates.

As always, we will postpone games if fields begin to flood, conditions become unsafe, or lightning becomes an issue. Any changes will immediately be posted on PembrokeFlagFootball.com and our Facebook page.

For now, grab the rain gear, pack an umbrella and get ready to make some memories. We’ve got football to play!

PYFFL Names Home Decor Group Official Paint Provider

PEMBROKE, Mass. — Pembroke Youth Flag Football League (PYFFL) is proud to announce Home Decor Group as the Official Paint Provider of PYFFL, a new partnership that will help keep the league’s fields lined, painted and ready for play throughout the entire 2026 season.

Home Decor Group is donating all of the field paint and painting supplies needed by PYFFL’s field crew to maintain the league’s 12 game and practice fields throughout the 2026 season.

The partnership came together through Jonathan Tapper, Managing Partner of Home Decor Group, who worked directly with the league to identify its field maintenance needs and provide the supplies necessary to support them.

Rosters Are Posted. See Your Team in Crossbar!

PYFFL rosters have officially been posted! You can view your player’s team by logging into your account at PembrokeFlagFootball.com or through the Crossbar app.

We strongly encourage every parent to download and use the Crossbar app. Coaches have been instructed to use the app to communicate with their teams throughout the season, including practice information, schedule updates, reminders, and other important announcements. The app will be the best way to make sure you do not miss anything.

Now for a few friendly roster reminders.

PYFFL has 740 players, and every family has its own busy schedule. Our rosters are carefully built with fairness and competitive balance as the priority. PYFFL takes great pride in creating an equal playing field for every athlete and every team.

For that reason, players will not be moved because they hoped to play with a friend, because their team’s practice day does not fit their schedule, or for carpooling purposes.

We do not make trades. The rosters are set.

Coaches will be reaching out through Crossbar very soon with additional information about practices for grades 1–9. Our game schedule is expected to be ready during the first week of August, and the season kicks off on August 30.

We are excited to have all 740 players joining us for another great season of PYFFL football!

A Note from the PYFFL Board of Directors

Dear PYFFL Families,

Now that registration for the 2026 season has concluded, we want to take a moment to speak directly with our community.

First, thank you.

Because of your passion for flag football and your commitment to this league, we will once again have over 750 players this season. That number is something we are incredibly proud of. It reflects years of steady growth, long hours behind the scenes, and a shared commitment to building something special for kids across our area.

We broke several league registration records over the past week. Four out of every five players from a year ago have signed up to return, with nearly all of them taking advantage of our early registration period, which has proven to be very successful.

At the same time, we know the outcome of registration was frustrating for some families.

Several divisions reached capacity quickly, and in some cases, both roster spots and waitlists filled. We understand how disappointing that can be, especially for families hoping to join the league this season.

We want to be clear and transparent about why this happens.

PYFFL is an independent, parent-run, non-profit league. Every aspect of the league is organized by volunteers who dedicate a tremendous amount of time and energy to make this possible.

Our board members are volunteers.

Our coaches are volunteers.

The people lining fields, organizing equipment, coordinating schedules, and managing game days are all volunteers.

We continue to push ourselves to grow each year. We have added teams, expanded divisions, and increased overall capacity consistently over time.

But there are limits.

There are only so many fields available.

Only so many practice slots.

Only so many referees and scorekeepers.

Only so many hours in a weekend.

And just as importantly, there is a standard of player experience that we are committed to maintaining. We have done a really good job in this area and would put our league up against any other in the region.

Please know this: we do not take turning players away lightly.

We understand what this league means to families and we genuinely wish we had the capacity to accommodate everyone who wants to participate.

We will continue to look for ways to grow responsibly, including exploring opportunities to expand into other local South Shore communities. We will continue to evaluate our structure, our resources, and where additional capacity may be possible. That work is ongoing, just as it has been for the past 14 years.

But we will always balance growth with quality, safety, and the experience we promise to every player on the field.

Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you for your continued support.

And thank you for being part of what makes PYFFL so special.

Sincerely,

The PYFFL Board of Directors
