General
AFFL Youth is the youth division of the American Flag Football League. Founded by Jeff Lewis in 2017, the AFFL Youth league started in 2021 and organizes leagues and tournaments throughout the United States.
We play by AFFL Youth 5on5 non-contact rules. The rule book can be found on our web site but the biggest difference is, these rules are more like real football, they are more fun, more exciting, faster and the game is never over. Other differences between our rules and other youth flag football league rules are below,
- Throw Offs.
- Blitzes.
- Laterals.
- Pitches.
- QB can run when rushed.
- NO impeding the rusher.
- PRO clock in last minute
- 1/2/3 point conversions.
- On-side play.
- 12 max on roster.
- Coaches challenge
- Real time scoring app

Flag football can be a safe sport to play when proper precautions and rules are followed. Unlike tackle football, flag football does not involve full contact or tackling, which significantly reduces the risk of serious injuries such as concussions, broken bones, and spinal cord injuries. However, like any sport, there is always a risk of injury.
