General Description

This is a non-contact, ‘fun-first’ Flag Football league. Games are played 5 on 5, with a minimum of 2 females on the field at all times. All receivers are eligible and kicking is permitted. There are 4 downs to a field. The CSSC offers Really Recreational, Recreational, and Intermediate divisions. The Really Recreational and Recreational divisions engage female play more than any other co-ed Flag Football league (see ‘Integral Role’ rule). Games are located throughout the city and are played on private rugby fields or City of Calgary large soccer fields. Four teams play at each field per night. There is an Event Coordinator on-site to update players on CSSC happenings and to get the games started, however, players are expected to call their fouls and manage their own game. After your game, meet-up with your teammates and other CSSC players while enjoying exclusive specials at one of our many Sponsor Bars around Calgary.

Who Can Play?

Adults aged 18 and older can join any of our Flag Football leagues. All Flag Football Leagues in the CSSC are co-ed and self-officiated. For a description of this division's level of skill, please see below. We welcome full teams, small groups (5 or more players but not a full team), friends (2-4 players) and individual registrations. Small groups, friends and individual registrations are combined with other similar registrants to form a team that remains together for the duration of the season. Click here for more info.
