Flag Football news – rules – attire – registration – contacts
The year 2007 marked the first year
of Flag Football, which was highly successful. The program is sponsored
through the National Football League, which helps us provide a fun and
exciting way to learn the game of football in a completely non-contact way.
The rules are supplied by the NFL, which also supplies the uniforms,
footballs and flag belts. The
game is fast-paced and full of action, while emphasizing teamwork and
sportsmanship. Registration is now open for the
2008 SFX Flag Football season, and the registration
deadline is August 15, 2008. Our regular season kicks off Saturday
September 13th and runs through Sunday November 9th. Playoffs will be held the weekend of
November 15 – 16th. All teams make the playoffs. Super Bowls for each division
will be played on Saturday November 22nd and consolation games for all those
not making the Super Bowls will be played on Sunday November 23rd. Trophies
are awarded to 1st and 2nd place Division winners only. This year there will be three
divisions: 9 – 11 years old: Coed
Division 12 – 14 years old: Boys
Only 15 – 17 years old: Boys Only Each team must have a minimum of
8 players and a maximum of 10. Full teams are welcome. Coaches, feel free to
recruit from your baseball teams. All individuals who register will be placed
on a team. Coaches are needed in all
divisions so step up if you can. You’re guaranteed to have a lot of
fun.

Each team consists of 10 players
with 5 on the field. The offensive team plays for a first down at midfield and
a touchdown in the end zone. Running and passing plays are allowed, although
there are no running zones at midfield and near the goal line. The defensive
team covers receivers, rushes the passer and grabs the flags to make
“tackles.” Scoring is the same as the pros: a touchdown scores 6
points with either a 1- or 2-point conversion. There is no kicking or
punting. For a complete set of the rules,
please visit the official NFL website: http://flag.nflyouthfootball.com The games will be played in two
20 minute halves with a 5 minute halftime. All games will be played in the
Long Meadow in
Cleats are allowed except for
metal spikes. All players must wear a
protective mouthpiece. There are no
exceptions! Official NFL Flag jerseys must
be worn during play. Shirts must be tucked in during
play. Football pants are allowed but
not mandatory, otherwise only sweatpants or shorts with no pockets will be
allowed. Flag belts must be worn around
the waist and flags must be worn on the hips.
