Flag Football League in Buffalo, NY
The Epic Sports Center’s Flag Football program has grown steadily over the years. Players enjoy a three-man referee system and a choice of competitive or recreational leagues.
All leagues play on our 40 yard by 70 yard Victory Turf Field. Please note that this is not rubber in-fill turf; no outdoor spikes are allowed; sneakers only, please!
During our September session, our league runs on Monday nights. During our November through May sessions, our league runs on your choice of Monday or Saturday nights. Our May and July sessions play Monday nights.
Please understand that due to the popularity of this league, teams may play one or two “spillover games” on an alternative day of the week per session. (For example, your team might have a game on a Thursday evening.) These games will be scheduled late in the session to better accommodate your team. Your captain will be informed about any spillover games when we phone with the first game time of the session.
During our Summer hours, our league continues to play indoors. We’ve recently installed a wall fan next to the Victory Turf Field to help disperse air and keep players cool.
Equipment:
Must have flags (flags may be rented from the Epic Center for $10.00 per session).
No spikes or turf shoes.
Regulations:
There are 10 to 18 players per team.
Eight play on the field at once.
There are two 25 minute halves.
There must be an adult coach (over 21 years old) present for all games.
Player Passes:
As part of our 20 Year Anniversary, if you currently have a Player Pass and are registered, you are now a LIFETIME MEMBER of Epic Center, and you'll never have to buy a Player Pass again.
If you currently don't have a Player Pass and registration with Epic Center, you need to pay a one-time fee of $20 at the front counter before your first game.
