East Georgia Blitz NFL Flag Football League

East Georgia Blitz FFL, Inc. is an NFL Flag Football League that is a developmental and competitive league. Once teams are established, players cannot be added or changed like in 7v7 leagues, except for injury replacements. We recommend that you do not sign up your child for multiple sports during the EGB spring season. Pro Division players are required to attend 2 practices a week and will be playing in 2 games every Saturday of the season (Rookie League players only have 1 game per week on Saturday). When a child is signed up to play two sports at the same time, it is not fair to one of the teams, as the player cannot attend all the practices and games for both teams. Please commit to one sport and give 100% effort to one sport at a time.  Your understanding on this is greatly appreciated. 

Participants of the East Georgia Blitz Flag Football League (EGB) will have fun while being physically active and will gain knowledge of the sport. Young athletes will learn every position on the field as well as football fundamentals. Experienced athletes will enhance their gameplay skills in a non-contact environment.

Practices will be conducted in various locations in Columbia County. Practices will be held Saturdays during pre-season. Once games begin, practices will be held twice a week in the evening. Each team will play two games on Saturday from 9-2 PM , usually with a one hour break in between games (Rookie Division will only play 1 game on Saturday at 9am.) Game cancellations due to inclement weather will be made up as early as possible. All games will be held at the Greenbrier Middle School Football Field.  A food truck will be on site every Saturday, so bring a tent  and chairs for an enjoyable time with the East Georgia Blitz gameday experience! 

Each participant of East Georgia Blitz will receive an official NFL Flag Football reversible jersey, NFL Flag Football socks, matching uniform shorts, and NFL Flag Football belt. Participants are required to wear a mouth guard (without a strap) and cleats. Metal cleats are not permitted. 

Participants of East Georgia Blitz MUST be between the ages of 6-15 on August 1, 2024 . We have 2 co-ed divisions; The Pro Division 9-15 year olds and the Rookie Division 6-8 year olds. The Rookie Division is a developmental division designed to teach basic fundamentals of the game. 

If your 9-10 year old is new to the sport, small or just needs experience before playing in the Pro Division, they can try out for the Rookie Division. If your 8 year old is highly experienced and would like to try out for the Pro Division, we can accommodate that as well. 

See League information for gameplay rules. 

Games will be held on Saturdays, spanning mid-morning (9am) to early afternoon (3pm). Each team will play two games, usually with no more than an hour break in between. Each team will play 11 regular season games. Playoff Tournament games are double elimination. The Pro-Bowl and Super Bowl will follow the regular season. Game play will consist of 6v6 for two 22 minute halves with a two minute halftime.

East Georgia Blitz's unique gameplay of two squads in the Pro Division enables siblings of various ages to be on the same team. Please note participating siblings when you register. Non-sibling team requests are not guaranteed, as teams are created via live coaches draft.

Rookie Division players 6-8 will be on a separate team from the Pro Division players. 

After you register, you will receive a confirmation email that your registration has been submitted. A welcome email will be sent to all emails we have on file after registration closes. After team evaluations, coaches will draft their players. Rosters, practice times and locations, and game schedules will be posted on the East Georgia Blitz website and Facebook page. Occasional updates will also be posted to the East Georgia Blitz Facebook page. 

After registration closes, we will hold a league wide combine (player evaluation drills). Each registered participant will be evaluated by our coaches. Coaches will then draft their team according to their team needs.

Each participant must attend the combine. If you absolutely cannot attend the combine, EGB will make a decision of eligibility or a make up combine on a case by case basis. 

Registration opens September 1st. The Player Evaluation (Combine) will be the beginning of January and the Draft will follow the week after the combine. Practices will begin the week after the draft and the start of the season will be the last weekend in February or the first weekend of March. Dates for the Combine will be announced on January 1, 2025.
