FLAG FOOTBALL RULES
The Basics |
- A coin toss determines first possession.
- The offensive team takes possession of the ball at its 5-yard line and has three plays to cross midfield. Once a team
crosses midfield, it has three plays to score a touchdown. If the offense fails to score, the ball changes possession and
the new offensive team takes over on its 5-yard line.
- If the offensive team fails to cross midfield, possession of the ball changes and the opposition starts its drive from
its 5-yard line.
- All possession changes, except interceptions, start on the offense’s 5-yard line.
- Interceptions may be returned.
- Teams change sides after the first 20 minutes. Possession changes to loser of coin toss unless deferred and the clock
does not stop.
|
| Players/Game Schedules |
Teams must field a minimum of five players at all times.
Teams consist of 10 players – five
on the field, with five substitutes. |
| Timing/Overtime |
Games are played to 40 minutes running time. If the score is tied at the end of 40 minutes, teams move
directly into overtime. The first team to score wins.
Each time the ball is spotted, a team has 30 seconds to snap
the ball. Teams will receive one warning before a delay-of-game penalty is enforced.
Each team has one 60-second and
one 30-second time-out per half.
Officials can stop the clock at their discretion.
|
| Scoring |
Touchdown:
6 points
Extra point:
1 point (played from 5-yard line) or
2 points (played
from 12-yard line)
Safety:
2 points
|
|
| Running |
The quarterback cannot run with the ball.
Only direct handoffs behind the line of scrimmage are permitted.
Offense may use multiple handoffs.
“No-running zones” located five yards from each end zone and five yards
on either side of midfield are designed to avoid short-yardage, power-running situations.
The player who takes the handoff
can throw the ball from behind the line of scrimmage.
Once the ball has been handed off, all defensive players are eligible
to rush.
Spinning is allowed, but players cannot leave their feet to avoid a defensive player (no diving).
The ball
is spotted where the ball carrier’s feet are when the flag is pulled, not where the ball is.
Absolutely NO laterals
or pitches of any kind are allowed.
|
| Receiving |
All players are eligible to receive passes (including the quarterback if the ball has been handed off
behind the line of scrimmage).
As in the NFL, only one player is allowed in motion at a time.
A player must have at
least one foot inbounds when making a reception.
|
| Passing |
Shovel passes are allowed.
The quarterback has a seven-second “pass clock.” If a pass
is not thrown within the seven seconds, play is dead, loss of down. Once the ball is handed off, the seven-second rule no
longer is in effect.
Interceptions may be returned.
|
|
| Dead Balls |
The ball must be snapped between the legs, not off to one side, to start play.
Substitutions may
be made on any dead ball.
Play is ruled “dead” when:
— Ball carrier’s flag is pulled
—
Ball carrier steps out of bounds
— Touchdown or safety is scored
— Ball carrier’s knee hits the ground
—
Ball carrier’s flag falls out
Note: There are no fumbles. The ball is spotted where the ball hits the ground.
|
| Rushing the Quarterback |
All players who rush the passer must be a minimum of seven yards from the line of scrimmage when the
ball is snapped. Any number of players can rush the quarterback. Players not rushing the quarterback may defend on the line
of scrimmage.
Once the ball is handed off, the seven-yard rule no longer is in effect, and all defenders may go behind
the line of scrimmage. A special marker, or the referee, will designate seven yards from the line of scrimmage. Remember,
no blocking or tackling is allowed.
|
| Sportsmanship/Roughing |
If the field monitor or referee witnesses any acts of tackling, elbowing, cheap shots, blocking or any
unsportsmanlike act, the game will be stopped and the player will be ejected from the game. FOUL PLAY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
Trash
talking is illegal. Officials have the right to determine offensive language. (Trash talk is talk that may be offensive to
officials, opposing players, teams or spectators.) If trash talking occurs, the referee will give one warning. If it continues,
the player or players will be ejected from the game.
|
|
| Penalties |
All penalties will be called by the referee.
Defense:
Offsides
Five
yards and automatic first down
Interference
10 yards and automatic first down
Illegal contact
(holding,
blocking, etc.)

pushing off/away defender)
10 yards and loss of down
FLAG guarding
10 yards (from line of scrimmage) and loss
of down
Delay of game
Clock stops, 10 yards and loss of down
Referees determine incidental contact that may
result from normal run of play. All penalties will be assessed from the line of scrimmage.
Only the team captain may
ask the referee questions about rule clarification and interpretations. Players cannot question judgment calls.
Games
cannot end on a defensive penalty, unless the offense declines it.
|
|
| Attire |
Cleats are allowed, except for metal spikes. Inspections must be made. All players must wear a protective
mouthpiece; there are no exceptions.
Official NFL FLAG jerseys must be worn during play.
Note: There are no
kickoffs, and no blocking is allowed.
