Is your player "chompin at the bit" to play tackle football but you're not ready to sign your life away to the endless
practices and high potential for injury in standard tackle football?
Like Arena Football on grass, with modified rules for safety, and a game designed primarily for a high octane passing
attack and 6 less players on the field.
Note these program changes:
The primary focus of our program is education and recreation. Players will be grouped together by weight, age ,
experience and ability in that descending order.
Divisions will be formatted with more of an educational and developmental focus. Players in each division
will learn, compete and play together as a division in a lower key, fun environment with quality parent volunteer and league
staff coaches.
Our Ultimate Tackle Football program combines the speed, fun and explosiveness of NFL Flag Football with the toughness
and some of the intensity of standard tackle programs.
It is a FULL PADS CONTACT TACKLE FOOTBALL PROGRAM.
Our 50 yard field, 2/1st down zones, 8 player per side field makes this style of play unique and fun to play and watch.
Yes, our program fields 8 players per side as opposed to the standard 11 player field in other programs. This opens the
field for more offensive production and less players on the field means a more finesse style passing game and less middle
of the field crowding which decreases the injury factor.
It is a style of play that challenges players to succeed by virtue of skill more than brute strength.
What level of ability and experience do our players come from?
Most of our players have either never played tackle football previously or are returning players with little experience.
A smaller percentage of players have some experience and have either been cut from a team but still want to play, have "aged
out" of other programs, are in the off season from their regular teams or simply want to play football without the intensity
and commitment level required of standard civic or high school programs. Whatever the background, our players always find
a great place and fun environment to play, learn and enjoy the great game of football.
TEAM MATE REQUESTS ARE WELCOMED AS LONG AS PLAYERS ARE IN SAME WEIGHT/AGE DIVISION.
