Run your football team
like a pro in New York City.
Organize practice, manage your roster, track attendance, and fill open spots — whether you run a flag team, a rec league squad, or a competitive amateur club.
Compared to football or basketball, American football is still a smaller, close-knit scene in New York City. Adult flag leagues like ZogSports and NYC Flag Football run 5v5 seasons across Manhattan and Brooklyn fields, while Woodside's NYC Warriors show the rare path from flag club to semi-pro tackle team. Flag football is heading to the LA 2028 Olympics as a five-a-side event, and the youth pipeline feeding it is already growing fast here.
Running a team shouldn't be this hard
Group chat overload
Practice updates, game day plans, and random banter all in one chaotic thread. Important details get buried every week.
Roster management nightmare
Tracking who's on the team, who's injured, and who's active requires spreadsheets nobody maintains.
Practice attendance is a mystery
Half the team says they're coming, a quarter actually shows up. You have no idea who to count on come game day.
Finding replacement players
Randall's Island alone has 60-plus athletic fields, and youth flag football has scaled fast here - the Jets-backed CHAMPS league now runs in 111 NYC public schools - but the adult scene stays scattered across a handful of private leagues.

American Football on Wapp — FAQ
Where can I find people to play American football in New York City?
Adult flag football runs through named leagues rather than open pickup: ZogSports NY and NYC Flag Football both organize 5v5 open and coed seasons on Manhattan and Brooklyn fields, and NYC Parks itself runs an NFL- and PAL-backed citywide flag league each fall. For tackle, options thin out fast - Woodside's NYC Warriors is one of the few verifiable amateur/semi-pro clubs in the five boroughs. Open the Around Me map in Wapp to see actual games, teams, and players near you, and start or join one directly.
Does Wapp work for flag football?
Absolutely. Wapp works for any format — flag football, touch football, full-contact amateur leagues. Set your event type and player count however you need.
Can I manage separate offense and defense squads?
Yes. Wapp supports multiple squads under one team - the same structure a club like NYC Warriors uses to run youth flag, adult semi-pro tackle, and adult flag rosters side by side. Create separate groups for offense, defense, special teams, or any other grouping your team uses.
Is Wapp free for football teams?
Yes. All core features — scheduling, roster management, attendance tracking, and finding players — are completely free.
