    Some notes about the tournament and SSAF flag football.<\/span><\/p>\n

    At the elementary level we have found it more appropriate to use junior or youth size balls.<\/p>\n

    The flags have been causes of controversy in the past.\u00a0 They should be velcro and hang by the sides over tucked-in jerseys.\u00a0 I have found the belts that come off altogether don\u2019t work very well and teams have had to change them mid-game.\u00a0 Ensure that flags are not old and curled up.<\/p>\n

    We have been using these rules:<\/p>\n

    https:\/\/ssaf.ca\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Elementary-Open-Flag-Football-Guidelines.pdf<\/p>\n

    This was made in conjunction with Danny Bobb our officials’ team leader.<\/p>\n

    We have played since 2018 by setting all the defensive players 10 yrds back (not just the rusher).\u00a0 In the interest of consistency, we will continue to do this and can address any issues and permanent rule changes as a motion at the next SSAF meeting.<\/p>\n

    A common mistake players make is that when running the football, teammates run ahead, which may block the defence.\u00a0 Ensure offensive players that don\u2019t have the ball are trained to stand still when you are running the ball.<\/p>\n
