guidance on flag football

Are there official rules we can go by?

I need to let the other sites know how many players we're talking about, and a standard set of game rules would be nice too.

Any suggestions post em here. Thanks

I found these on the NIRSA site, let me know how they look

Depending on how much room we have on the fields maybe we should have a handful of Warpath teams (and Extremeskins teams, etc.) so this way more people get a chance to play

Depending how many people are interested you could have like two mini tournements (ex: Warpathers vs Warpathers, Extremeskins vs Extremskins) then you could have the winning teams face off or somthing like that. Again it depends on the types of turnouts you get. I think a site like us; we could go one team and still be alright with everyone still getting a chance to play.

Is there no way that we could swing a tackle game? 7 on 7 is a QB scrambling game. In other words if the QB is a good runner, then that is the majority of the offensive plays the whole game. I am one who would have alot to lose should I get hurt, because my job depends on my overall health. But, I would really love to play one last tackle game before I end up old, out of shape, and on an inhaler. I dont want my last game of HS football 8 years ago to be my last, full contact, organized game. Right now I am like Al Bundy re-living his glory days on the couch. I am sure that many men feel the same way that I do. They want to play the right way, because they love the game the way that it is supposed to be. FULL CONTACT. I do not care if I get hurt, because I will heal, and this proposed game is another form of healing!

the only site i think that could field multiple teams easily would be extremeskins...
they could just work out sub rules or something...


tackle is a MUCH bigger liablity then flag especially with sponsors, some uninsured players etc...

When I played intramural flag football in college we had a rule that said the QB could only run once every four downs, or maybe it was only if he was being blitz

I forget exactly but I remember that there was some rule that prevented the QB from just scrambling on every play

I would love to play tackle but I feel the only way this will work is by playing flag.

Being as such, if we actually can get 11-on-11 games going on, I think that people will have to run legit plays and that even if the QB scrambles, someone will be there to get him.

I played in a local 8-man league here in Richmond last year, and we played according to the USFFA rulebook:

I really liked the way the USFFA game is played.

I would think we could do 8-on-8, and perhaps even have offensive and defensive squads, if each team can get 16 people. That way, you've got plenty of subs.

Here's some other good sites for flag football guidelines:

I agree; theres no way we could play tackle and have it work-out. At least not sponsored and everything like were talking. I do think we could get 11 on 11 going with the "dummie bags" as someone else was saying. That would be alot of fun, we could have pulling gaurds and stuff. It'd be a blast. Counter Tre!! :headbange
