Rules for Standard 5v5 Updated Changes for 2026:
Uniforms: Shorts/bottoms must not be rolled up so they are as small as women's/girl's swimsuit bottoms. There must be full coverage of the bottom. If teams are wearing spandex bottoms and the bottoms ride up when playing, there must be coverage underneath said bottoms (layering leggings/tights with biker/spandex shorts). Failure to comply will result in the athlete or athletes not competing until the uniform has been correcteD, WHICH WILL BE AT THE DISCRETION OF OFFICIAL iFLAG STAFF.
Divisions Offered: All divisions will be subject to combine based on the amount of teams participating.
Standard Boy's: 8U, 10U, 12U, 14U, & HS
Standard Girl's: 8U, 10U, 12U, 14U, & HS
Preliminary Schedule: The preliminary schedule is on our Info tab. It's subject to change dependent upon divisions filling/not filling-we could possibly add more spots divisions.
Zorts Athlete & Coach's Cards: ALL players and coaches must have a Zorts card. This is an annual membership from date of purchase. Zorts athlete cards hold teams accountable to player's ages. Zorts coaches cards will speed up the check in process and hold teams accountable to their max number of coaches. If you are a club admin or team manager, you are NOT required to get a coach's card. All coaches must have a passed background check. You can complete a background check though Zorts Sports. If you have any issues or questions on an athlete or coach card, please contact helpdesk@zortssports.com
Drafting for the Schedule: We will be drafting for the schedule. It's based on the order of how teams register. Here's a link to how the draft works: https://youtu.be/Fgza1WaKuHg?si=DS0H_5nyfofhit4_
We won't have a coach's meeting. All info about our event is on this registration page and also under the Zorts Info tab on the app or URL. Of course if there's anything that you don't see that you need answers to, please don't hesitate to reach out. ~ Cassie (Cassie@iflag.org)
