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 only draft 8 players on a team and we play 6 v 6, so there are only 2 extra players. This means that it is very important to have all players available for practices and games. We encourage kids to play multiple sports during the year; however, we recommend that you do not sign up your child for multiple sports during the same season. Players are required to attend 2 practices a week and will be playing in 2 games every Saturday of the season. When a child is signed up to play two sports in the same season, 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 per season and give 100% effort to one sport at a time. Your understanding on this is greatly appreciated.
Our refund policy is as follows:
100% refund (minus administrative fees charged to league by Square) - From registration until the day before the combine.
70% refund (minus administrative fees charged to league by Square) - From the combine day until 1 day before the draft.
50% refund (minus administrative fees charged to league by Square) - From the day of the draft until 1 day before uniforms are ordered.
No refund will be given after uniforms are ordered.
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 (see Practices below). Each team will play two games every Saturday from 9-3 PM , sometimes there is a 1-2 hour break in between games and sometimes they are back to back. All Rookie games are played at 9am and 9:30am. 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!
Practice times and locations are up to the coaches. We provide practice fields at the Greenbrier Middle School field, Greenbrier Elementary Lacrosse Field and Parkway Baptist Church on WIlliam Few Pkwy; however some coaches choose to practice at Lakeside Park, Riverside Park and Mitchell Park. That is strictly up to the coach that drafts your player.
Each participant of East Georgia Blitz will receive an official NFL Flag Football reversible jersey, NFL Flag Football reversible shorts, matching uniform socks, 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, 2026 . 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 every Saturday. Each team will play 10 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 6 v 6 for two 20-22 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. We do not accept Non-sibling team requests, 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 parents after registration closes. After team evaluations, coaches will draft their players. Rosters 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. We do not allow requests for players to be on the same team and do not allow requests for players to only be drafted to a team that practices at a certain location.
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 usually occurs within a week or two 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 are announced after the league is full.
All decisions that impact players, coaches, games and rules are brought to the attention of our our coaches. Coaches are given a vote and decisions are made by majority vote. We feel that this is the best way to handle any discrepancies and helps make our league as successful as possible.
