AMERICAN FOOTBALL
Sportsfort introduces American Flag Football to the list of its various sports academies. Flag Football is a high-octane, non-contact version of American football, where tackles are made by pulling off flags which all players wear on their hips. Flag Football is the fastest growing format of the game across the world. Professional leagues such as the American Flag Football League (AFFL) and the newly established NFL Flag are starting to spring up. The game can be played by athletes of all abilities, genders and levels of experience. Play is based on the same principles as the contact game with offensive teams having four attempts (downs) to reach a certain point on the field with the defensive team seeking to halt their progress.
