Please Note:
Some of the rules are funky. AFFL 7v7, 5v5 etc, they all have weird rules. You donâ??t like it, donâ??t play. Do not come to the field and complain about rules. Just be better.
We have the White Football and the Purple Poppers for sale at the tent.
You can NOT wear Youth flags, must be the adult size

Please read through them, share it with your team as it will save you and your team a lot headaches if you know the rules in and out.
Refs: Our referees are not pulled off of craigslist. Some of our teams are. These Referees are professional and very pleasant to work with. They ref flag football 3-4 times per week, so they are well versed, but with so many different divisions and leagues, rules differ, let's not be rude if they need to clarify. If you have any issues with the ref, have an adult conversation with them. Being whiny isn't good for you or your team. Referees will make mistake, lots of them. They're human and the game is moving super fast. They want the game to be fair just like you do, they'll try their best.
Sportsmanship: We've built some amazing relationships over the years with players/teams. We have players that are traveling from Texas, San Diego, Long Beach, LA, Central Valley, Salinas and all over the Bay. Sportsmanship is a huge part of our success and growth. If you lack it, and create issues with our refs or other teams, you and your team will be disqualified.
Illegal Drugs/ Alcohol: Field is in Redwood City. If you're not familiar with the place, its beautiful, but cops are EVERYWHERE looking to give tickets for the stupidest things. Neighborhood folks are watching and looking to report the dumbest things. Don't be that guy. Tickets aren't cheap, please don't smoke or drink on the field.
Jerseys/Shirts: Make sure your team brings two sets, one dark and one light. So Black/Blue/Red shirts AND White/Yellow/Light Blue etc shirts. One dark one light. Also, shorts with no pockets or tape them up completely shut.
Schedule: We had at least 6 different teams ask for the latest games possible. I'm sorry, we have a lot of teams and limited field time, so we have to make it work. Details are on our website, or send this link to your players:

Lets enjoy some football and build our flag football community stronger and stronger!!!
