flag football Equal Playing Time At 5 on 5 Football, we have a rotation system in place to provide equal playing time for your child. If you find your child is not getting equal playing time, we will be happy to contact your coaches. The spirit of the league is to ensure ALL kids have the opportunity to learn and play equally throughout the season and into the tournament. No Blocking: Our league currently does not allow blocking. In addition to the fact the your child won¹t be on the ground as much, this rule allows everyone on offense to be eligible to receive the ball. Click here to check out the rules. Positive Coaching: Our coaches and assistant coaches will be trained about the rules of the league. There is a rotation system in place for the games to ensure equal playing time. They are encouraged to spread the ball around to teach the fundamental skills of football to everyone, while the experienced players have a chance to learn new positions. Competitive with a Twist: The regular season consists of 6-7 games. These games are officiated and competitive, but hold no weight on the participation or seeding for the end of season tournament. This encourages the coaches to spread the ball and ensure the kids learn and have fun and not focus purely on winning. This takes pressure off the Kids, Parents, Coaches and Referees. Safe and Fun: Your child having FUN is second only to their safety. Our rules are designed for fast paced, high scoring games while trying to keep your kids off the ground. This is not to say that there won¹t be a few stumbles, falls and grass stains. There is simply less physical contact than leagues that allow blocking and contact as part of their rules. Professional Referees: Our referees are hand-picked and trained on our custom rules.
