The Game:
-
The game is played by 2 teams of 6 players.
-
Points are scored by placing the ball in the end zone. We call this scoring a “Try”.
-
To get the ball to the end zone, you must pass backwards only (sorry aspiring quarterbacks!). The ball is progressed by running it forward.
-
Tackling is very similar to flag football; a defender must “tag” the offense. In the event of a tackle, the defense must back up 5m from the ball while the offence places the ball on the ground and a teammate picks it up to continue play. If the defense does not back up the full 5m before the next tag, a penalty will be called. On the 6th tag, possession is turned over to the defense.
-
Dropping the ball, accidentally passing forward or any other infringement of the rules results in a change of possession.
-
Games are 45 minutes long; 20 minute halves and 5 minute half time.
-
The league is a round robin style with matches every Wednesday. Teams can expect to play every Wednesday of the season. There will be at least 2 games played per week.
-
Team with the most points at the end of the season, wins.
-
Team check in is at 15 minutes prior to kickoff. Youth league kickoff at 5:30p followed by adult league at 6:15pm and 7:00pm.
