GFFL League Overview

  • The GFFL consists of two divisions: the Colonial Eastern and Western Conference

  • Each teams registers at least five, but no more than eleven players.

  • New members can register with a team, or as individuals through the draft board

  • New registering rookies could use a combination of Identifications.
    A birth certificate that validates age with name in combination with a work or
    college picture I. D. that validates what the person looks like meets the requirement.

  • Penalties are assessed in downs, not yards.

  • Each series will have five downs with no chance for a first.

  • You have ten seconds from when the ball is put in play until you snap the ball.
    Having five or ten written plays sometimes eliminates having to think.

  • Players play at Quarterback, Defensive Back, Offensive Lineman, Defensive Lineman,
    or Wide Receiver.

  • Most GFFL teams use this typical 5-man formation: A center with a quarterback in the shotgun position. Two wide outs and a back next to the quarterback to block the first guy in. Remember to think of your center as a receiver when designing plays. Defenses vary, but the most common is the two man rush along with a middle-line backer and two cornerbacks.

  • Field is modified to be proportionate to five on five flag football
    (25 yard width, by 50 yard length).

  • Each captain receives an official rule book upon registration approval.

  • Players must be at least 18 years of age, but no older than 40,
    along with other eligibility requirements.

The GFFL demands that all members represent the organization as a progressive and professional athletic association while encouraging the health, safety, and sportsmanship of every member. Specifics on conduct and appearance can be found HERE
