Shelton Flag Football (SFFL) is a modified flag football league that has been teaching young athletes football since 1971. Players wear full equipment and are taught proper blocking techniques, ball handling, and other basic football skills. Tackling is not allowed but during the flag pulling process, players can and do hit the ground. SFFL has a reputation for producing skill-orientated, open football players. Many players have moved on from SFFL to play HS football, earning All-State honors and one even going on to play professional football! The goal of SFFL is to teach football in a fun and safe environment, expecting all coaches, game officials, teammates, parents, and fans to contribute to this goal. SFFL is a unique league that offers a great football experience for all players involved. Players are taught basic and advanced football skills that are conducive to their level of play, such as downfield blocking and ball control. There is an emphasis to teach the game in a safe manner yet still provide an exciting experience for the players.
