Our take

Lady Dragon Youth Football is the girls' flag-football program run by Dragon Youth Football, a fall league open to girls from kindergarten through high school. Play is split into grade-band divisions — Kinder–1st, 2nd–3rd, 4th–6th, 7th–8th, and High School — so a five-year-old and a high-schooler are on age-appropriate teams rather than in one mixed group.

The season is a real team-and-league experience, not a drop-in clinic: it opens in early October and runs to a Super Bowl weekend in November, with weekly Sunday double-headers in Southlake that start at 4 PM. Players can sign up as a free agent or bring a full team, and rosters are kept small — teams cap at nine, and no team exceeds ten once assigned free agents are added — so there's real playing time to go around.

Who it's for: a girl who wants to play football in the supportive, positive setting the program describes as its mission, whether she's a first-time kindergartner or a returning high-schooler. It runs on its own site (dyfsouthlake.com), separate from the main Dragon Youth Football tackle-and-flag program.

Local Tips

A Dragon Youth Football program for girls, run as a fall flag-football league. A few practical things to know:

  • Divisions span Kinder–1st all the way through High School, so it covers a wide age range on one league calendar.
  • Game days are Sunday double-headers at 4 PM in Southlake — plan for two games each Sunday, not one.
  • The fall season opens October 4 and ends with Super Bowls on November 18; October 11 is off and November 15 is held for weather make-ups.
  • You can register solo as a free agent or sign up a full team — there's no need to bring your own roster, and free agents get placed onto teams.
  • Divisions and the schedule can shift with final registration numbers, so confirm your child's division once rosters are set after registration closes (August 14).
  • The program lives on the Lady DYF site, dyfsouthlake.com, which is separate from the main Dragon Youth Football SportsEngine site — worth knowing if you're searching and only find the boys' tackle-and-flag pages.
Carroll ISD Connection

Lady Dragon Youth Football carries the Dragon name and is the girls' arm of Dragon Youth Football, the community youth-football organization for Southlake-area families. Its stated mission is to give "every girl in Southlake and surrounding communities" a place to play. The connection is one of shared Dragon identity and community rather than a formal Carroll ISD program — it's an independent, community-run league, not a district-operated team, and it serves Southlake along with surrounding communities.

Credentials

Lady Dragon Youth Football is a program of Dragon Youth Football, an independent community youth-football organization; it is run by the DYF organization and its volunteers rather than by named individual coaches. The program does not publish individual staff credentials online, so families should confirm coaching and league details directly through the Lady DYF site.
