League Details

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 four divisions (Players, 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 April 21st and close May 7th/May 30th or earlier if the league sells out. League fees are $1200/$1300 for a team of up to 15 players ($35 for each additional player over 15 - no limit to number of players on your roster) and $115/$125 for individuals (we'll get everyone on a team). ZogSports donates a percentage of our profit to charity.
Fee Includes:

  • 6 regular season games (no scrimmage)
  • One head referee/game
  • 50% of the teams will qualify for the heart-wrenching single elimination playoff tournament
  • One t-shirt per person on the roster
  • Field fees
  • Equipment
  • "Prize Money" from our sponsors donated to the winning team's charity of choice
  • League administration
  • Organized Happy Hours at local bars after the games

 

When Does It Start and When Are the Games?

Regular season games begin the weekend of June 22nd.  There will be no games played July 4th weekend.  Games will be played Sunday afternoons between 4-8pm.

Where Are We Playing?

Games will take place at the following fields.

  • Asphalt Green (90th and York)
  • Riverbank State Park - Softball Field (138th and Riverside Drive)

 Please note that game times, location and dates mentioned above are a very good guideline, but may change slightly.

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, please see link at top of page

 

Levels of Play

  • Players Division - Think you're a jock? This division will be competitive, but still fun.
  • 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.
