About Us
Tradition
The Jr. Red Devils Flag Football Club has been in operation for almost 20 years serving boys and girls in grades 2-12.
From its inaugural season through today, the Jr. Red Devils’ philosophy separates itself from other youth sports programs. Thousands of kids have had the opportunity to learn, play, and enjoy the great sport of football with the Jr. Red Devils. Many of those players have gone on to represent their local high schools at the varsity level and beyond. More importantly, they have learned the lessons of competition, sportsmanship and fair play.
All game nights are conveniently located at Ridge High School's Lee Field on Monday and Wednesday nights from 6-9pm.
The first date, September 9, 2019, will be a practice and skills clinic from 6 pm - 8:15 pm.
Welcome!
Compete & Have Fun
The league format provides a unique combination of ensuring competitive contests on a nightly basis while allowing the players, coaches, and parents to simply have fun. As a program, we focus on the pace of play and equal distribution of the action for all of our players to ensure an inclusive and competitive experience for all.
Parents have always embraced this program because of our relaxed and inclusive approach to youth sports:
- No evaluations
- No travel
- No standings or playoffs
- No stress!
Every child will get equal playing time and be encouraged to play any position they want. The more fun they have, the more they will learn.
Community
The Jr. Red Devils Flag Football Program serves Basking Ridge and surrounding townships. There are no limits to the friends and family members you can play with or compete against.
Our special event nights include:
· Parents versus Kids Games
· Challenger Nights (select dates for exceptional and special needs players to take the field), and
· Cancer Awareness Fundraiser for a member of our community.
Those are a few examples of how we reach out to our community.

7th - 12th grades will play 1 hour games
As players enter the high school field area, there is a board posted which lists the team rosters for that night, the coaches, the field assignments and the jersey color (silver or green) for each team. Our jerseys are reversible, so your child’s team color may change each week. The team rosters change every week, so your child will play with different teammates every week throughout the season. If players arrive late, they will be placed on any team in order to even out the sides. To minimize confusion for your child, please arrive 15 minutes prior to your game.
The games last 60 minutes, including a five-minute halftime. Everyone plays every game. If you can't make a game, no problem, we will see you next time. With no team standings, or even team names, we have had good success in maintaining fair play and engaging games.
We will “flip flop” some of the times to accommodate CCD and other events
