Rules

Rookie Tackle is an 8 vs. 8 modified version of traditional football designed to introduce young players to the fundamentals of tackle football in a safer, more manageable way. With fewer players on the field, Rookie Tackle emphasizes skill development, positioning, and teamwork, allowing each player more opportunities to engage in the game. This format helps young athletes gradually transition from flag football to the full 11-player version, focusing on teaching proper techniques and game awareness while maintaining a fun and inclusive environment.
