WNSL recently teed off on its 3rd season of Fall golf at Percy Warner Golf Course. Thank you to all of our new and returning players!
This season, 10 teams of golfers will take to the course playing 7 scramble-style matches each week. Team golf allows young players the chance to practice playing a full match on their own while playing the best ball from their teammates, helping to improve pace-of-play.
We would also like to thank Metro Parks for helping to make our fall golf league possible. For more information about our Fall Golf League or to find out information for our Spring Jr PGA league (when details are announced) please visit our

Officials Corner
Flag Football
Blocking
- At the line of scrimmage, the way we describe blocking in flag football, is to think of it as a block-charge play in basketball.
- If the offensive blocker has established position in front of the defensive rusher and contact is created, then the defense should be penalized for bull rushing.
- If the offensive blocker is still moving to establish position in front of the defensive rusher and contact is created, then the offense should be penalized for blocking.
Just like in basketball, this play is a judgement call by the official.
Downfield the offensive play can only: (1) establish one position, which the defender must run around, or (2) if the ball has not crossed the line-if scrimmage, offensive player may run a route to get open to receive a pass.
Once the ball crosses the line of scrimmage and is in possession of a teammate, continuing to move/block/change positions causes the offensive player to be in jeopardy of being called for a downfield block.
Flag Guarding
- Is defined as an offensive player making a deliberate act to impede the defense from pulling their flag. Stiff arms, holding of the flag belt, diving or jumping are all forms of flag guarding.
