  • 3. EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

It is a DIFFERENT design (two flags on a belt, each one can be pulled off) You can order/purchase them by clicking here or using the Flag-Tag link on USFFD’s website. The cost is approximately $5.00 each.

    Jerseys must be similar and have an unique number on each of them. Referees will be checking equipment prior to games to make sure that all players are complying. If you have any questions about equipment, please feel free to ask us or consult with the USFTL Rule Book!

    Other Equipment Notes:
    - NO METAL SPIKES allowed!!
