How to Play
The Saturday Afa Football League is a touch football league. This means that players are not allowed to tackle each other. Instead, they must use their hands to "touch" the ball carrier in order to stop them from advancing.
The game is played on a standard-size football field. The goal of the game is to score more points than the opposing team. Points are scored by either running or passing the ball into the end zone.
The Saturday Afa Football League uses a modified set of rules that are designed to make the game more enjoyable for players of all skill levels. For example, there is no running clock, and there are no offsides penalties.
