Share
Get ready to experience football like never before! Sand flag football is here to excite athletes and sports enthusiasts, blending the strategy of traditional flag football with the exhilarating workout challenge of playing on soft beach sand. Set against the sunny backdrop of Virginia Beach, this is the Mount Everest of flag football, and it’s redefining the way we play the game. Bring in a club team and play recreation or competitive in a unique way to bridge community and members.
“Climb the mountain of flag football supremacy by playing in the soft sand in Virginia Beach,” says Jay DelVecchio, organizer of this game-changing adaptation.
What Makes Sand Flag Football Unique?
With key rule changes to enhance the pace, strategy, and inclusion, sand flag football offers a fresh take on the beloved sport. Here’s how it’s different:
- Smaller Teams: Only 6 players per team are on the field at once, leveling the playing field for strategy and agility.
- Basketball-Inspired Blocking Rules: Defensive players must avoid contact by running around opponents to reach the flag.
- Coed Divisions with Bonus Points: Women earn 9 points for any touchdowns scored by running, passing, or catching—making team collaboration a must.
- Faster Games: Teams get just 8 plays per possession on an 80x30-yard field with one first down, putting emphasis on quick decisions and efficiency.
- Rapid Play: Huddles are limited to 35 seconds, keeping the game lively and fast-paced.
Why Sand Flag Football is a Must-Try
Combining sun, sand, and sports, sand flag football is the perfect summer activity for athletes and weekend warriors alike. Not only does the sand introduce unique physical and strategic challenges, but it also encourages teamwork, fun, and a newfound love for the great outdoors.
Jay DelVecchio explains, "This twist on flag football isn’t just about competition; it’s about creating an experience for players who love the game and the beach."
