Players, coaches and teams who play to win, and have a skill level to reflect that. Our Competitive League format is a natural fit for young players who have developed into all-stars on their respective recreational teams. These players will develop a greater love for the game and improve their individual skill set at a much quicker pace by playing with and against other highly skilled players and teams. Players create their own teams (minimum of 8 players and maximum of 12 players) and find their own coach(es). The process of finding players and coaches is NOT the responsibility of the NAFFA. Teams in the Competitive Divisions can practice as many times as they’d like and do not have the individual player touchdown rules applied to them. These teams will compete for an opportunity to represent NAFFA at the NFL Flag Canada Regional Tournaments and a chance to compete for a paid bid to the 2026 NFL FLAG Championships. (Qualifying teams are responsible for their own travel accomodations)
