How Does It Work?

It's 8 on 8, 5 men and 3 women on the field at all times. It's no contact, 2-hand touch football. And we keep it exciting for everyone on the team through our divisions (Sorta Players, Casual and Extremely Casual) and our “female as a primary player” rule.

What's the Cost and What's Included?

Early/regular registration will open January 28th and close February 15th/29th or earlier if the league sells out.

What Are the Rules?

This is a fun, recreational touch football league, so we want everyone to play, stay involved and stay safe. The key rules are:

• 8 on 8, 5 men and 3 women on the field at all times
• No contact, 2-hand touch
• A woman must be a Primary Player on a play within 3 consecutive plays
• Scoring - 6 points for touchdown and your decision for 1 or 2-point conversion. (After the game, the team that has the most fun wins)
• For full set of rules, see link at top of page

Levels of Play

• Sorta Players - Pretty good athletes, maybe played together before, but still social.
• Casual Division - Played before? Not a bad athlete? This is the happy middle ground.
• Extremely Casual Division - this is the pure fun division. It's for you if you're looking more for the social than the competition or consider yourself a beginner at the organized game.

 ZogSports will try to accommodate all team and individual player requests for Division, but cannot guarantee all requests. We will not place a team or player more than 1 division (above or below) their original request.
