NFS Players Representative: Sean Malcolm
All play will be governed by standard 7-on-7 flag football

General Rules
CAPTAINS WILL BE THE ONLY PLAYERS WHO MAY COMMUNICATE WITH OFFICIALS TEAMS:
• The game is played between two teams of seven players per team.
• Each team must have at least one female player on the field at all times. Teams without a female
will not be subject to forfeiture, but may only use six players on each side of the ball.
• Teams may not play with less than six players at any time. A team is allowed 5 minutes past
start time to present 6 players. If a team is unable to dress 6 players after 5 minutes the game
will result in a forfeit
FEMALES:
• One female must be on the field at all times during both offense and defense and a female on
the offense must touch the ball at least once during each series of downs. A touch is defined as
a pass, rush, catch, or incomplete pass thrown to a female.
FLAGS:
• Players must wear two of the same length flags attached to a belt at the waist. All players must
have flags positioned on opposite hips before the ball is snapped. (Unsportsmanlike Conduct
Penalty: 15 yards)
STANCE:
• All players of both teams, except the snapper, may use any stance.
The Field
FIELD DIMENSIONS:
• The field is 50 yards in length and 30 yards in width. End zones are 5 yards deep and are designated by lines and pylons.
LINE TO GAIN / ZONES:
• The line-to-gain in any series is the zone in advance of the ball. A zone is defined as 20 yards.
A new series is awarded a team when they legally advance to the next zone. One female must
touch the ball on every series.
• The field is split into two zones and the zones remain the same regardless of where possession
begins.
• Zone 1: 10 yard Line to 20 yard Line
• Zone 2: 20 yard Line to End Zone
• Turnovers
• Turnover-on-Downs: Drive begins on the 10 yard Line regardless of where the turnover-on-downs
occurs
Game Clock, Time- Outs

• Games will be 40-minutes in length with two halves of 20-minutes and will be running time. The
clock will stop only during the final two minutes of each half or as otherwise designated by the
Referees (injury timeout, etc.) or a timeout.
TIMEOUTS:
• Teams are permitted three (3) timeouts per game and may be used at any time.
Equipment
EQUIPMENT:
• Product provided by NIKE must be worn at all times while on the field of play and on the premises. Competitive brands are strictly prohibited and will result in removal from the game. Metal

• Backs must be at least one yard behind the line of scrimmage. (Penalty: 5 yards)
BALL CARRIER:
• The ball carrier shall not deliberately drive or run into a defensive player, nor straight-arm, nor

must be made to a runner. (Penalty: 10 yards)

ball beyond the line if he rushed after the “5 Mississippi” rule. On a defensive blitz, the QB may
advance the ball by running.
CATCH:
• A forward pass is completed when caught by any player of the passing team who is in-bounds
and the ball continues in play. If the pass is caught in-bounds simultaneously by opponents, the
ball becomes dead and belongs to the passing team at spot of simultaneous catch. Receiver

• A center must be used by the offense to snap the ball. The center is allowed to block, but must
use proper technique. He or she is also an eligible receiver on all offensive plays.

• The ball is dead when an opponent removes the ball carrier’s flag. In all cases where a play
is in progress and a ball carrier loses a flag, either accidentally, inadvertently, or on purpose,
play shall be stopped at the spot where the flag is dropped. If any player loses a flag, he still is
eligible to catch a legal forward pass, but cannot advance the ball, and the ball is dead where
the ball is caught.
FORWARD PASS:
• All players are eligible receivers. A team may make multiple forward passes behind the neutral
zone. No pass interference rule if pass stays in or behind the neutral zone.

• A fumble occurs with the loss of possession after control of the ball. The ball is dead when it
strikes the ground.
• Defense can not “rip” the ball from the ball carrier. (Penalty: “rip” - 10 yards)

recovered by defensive player before the ball strikes the ground.
PICKS/BLOCKING:

used. A screen or pick is defined as a player getting to a legal position on the field in the path

elbows, hips, and knees must not extend beyond the frame of the body. (Penalty: Illegal Block –

only occur behind the line of scrimmage and proper blocking technique must be
