MOUNTAIN TOWN SHOWDOWN
Bringing mountain towns together for a high country showdown built around flag football, fun, and community.
EVENT DETAILS
-
Saturday, October 10, 2026
-
Summit High School Football Field
-
Games begin at 9:00 AM
-
Teams: Summit County, Steamboat Springs, Salida, Fairplay, Aspen, and other mountain communities across Colorado.
The goal for Year One is simple: give kids more games, more reps, and the chance to compete against teams they do not normally see during their local season.
There is no team entry fee and no admission fee for families.
FORMAT
-
5v5 flag football
-
Coed divisions
-
NFL FLAG rules used as the general baseline
-
Divisions centered around 2nd/3rd Grade and 4th/5th Grade
-
Some flexibility for 1st and 6th grade players based on team rosters
-
Multiple games guaranteed for every team
-
Round robin style play followed by championship games when team numbers allow
-
Final divisions will be adjusted based on the teams and rosters that register
Because mountain leagues organize players differently by age and grade, we will stay flexible when building divisions and work to create the most competitive and balanced matchups possible.
Final divisions, game schedules, field assignments, and check in details will be shared after teams are confirmed.
PARKING
Free parking will be available in the main Summit High School parking lot next to the football field.
