Manitoba Flag Football League - MFFL

2013 marks our 6th season

Our league is dedicated to providing the best/most realistic alternative football experience. We have blocking and jamming to add to the realism of the sport.

Changes for 2013:
- All referees will be certified, with classroom and on field training prior to the seasons first game. We felt this was one area that needed drastic improvement on over last year.

- The current rule book is under review. We felt there are areas that need adjustment and clarification. Once it is finalized we will replace the current rule book under the "Rules" tab, and will announce it here on the home page.

- We have some exciting sponsorship opportunities in the works that could save you up to $500 on your league fees. Contact Karim for further details.

Unique rules of the MFFL

The game of flag football in the MFFL is different from any other league around. Please review below:

8-man football - There are 8 men on both sides of the ball. Three offensive and defensive linemen are mandatory. Offensive linemen must lineup no more than one yard apart. Defensive linemen must lineup directly infront of the offensive line, one yard off.

Blocking - There is blocking in the MFFL. Safety is our highest priority! Blocking must be with hands only, directly on from the shoulders to the waist. No blocking from the side, no blocking the back and no excessive force.

Kicking - There are kickoffs to start a half and to begin a play after a touchdown is scored. A team may also decide to punt at anytime.

On-side kicks - In the last 5 minutes of the 2nd half, onside kicks are allowed by the losing team. The MFFL onside kick is completed by kicking the ball as deep as you can and not allowing the receiving team to bring it to/past their 20 yard line. Should the kicking team be successful on an onside kick, they will take possession from the 50 yard line.

Please review the rule book found under "Rules" for all rules and game play.
