The Naperville Park District has partnered with the National Football League to offer this flag football league where players learn the game of football in a safe setting. Program emphasizes positive coaching and provides an environment where every child has the opportunity to succeed. Teams typically practice two nights weekly prior to the start of the game schedule and one night weekly once games begin. Practices take place between the hours of 4:00-7:00 p.m. for approximately 60-75 minutes. Participants play a seven-game schedule on Friday nights or Sunday afternoons beginning September 6. All games are played in Naperville at Commissioners Park or Prairie Park. Volunteer parent coaches are needed. Players are contacted by their coach with the time of their practice during the week before the first practice. Each player receives an NFL team reversible jersey and an official NFL FLAG belt. Players must provide their own mouthguard.

On Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2011 Naperville Park District officials heard the good news for which they have been waiting for many months: the District has achieved national accreditation through the National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA).

The decision was announced at the NRPA national conference in Atlanta following a formal hearing before the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA).

Naperville is only the second park district in Illinois to earn this distinction and the 104th nationally accredited agency in the nation; there are more than 10,000 recreation agencies in the United States. The Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies accredits a handful of park agencies each year that have completed a multi-step process involving a self-review by the agency, a site visit, and an evaluation and formal report by the Commission.

“We are extremely proud to bring this honor to Naperville,” said Park District Executive Director Ray McGury. “It’s an affirmation of our high standards and also an encouragement to continue bringing high quality recreation and parks experiences to our community.”

The Park District’s accreditation process began approximately one year ago and included an extensive self-evaluation by staff and a 5-day visit from CAPRA reviewers this past July. Maintaining the accreditation requires annual reports and 5- and 10-year reviews.

Park District staff members noted that the CAPRA process has helped them see the big picture, focus on long term goals and plans, review plans more regularly, organize documents so that they are accessible and useable, and collaborate more effectively with other departments and outside organizations.
