About AFFA

The Alabama Flag Football Association(AFFA) began in 1987 as the Huntsville Flag Football League.  In 1990,  the AFFA was formed to develop league's outside of Huntsville.  The AFFA is a non-profit based organization.  Our job is to promote, develop, supervise, and inplement a budget for the expenses such as hiring city directors, officials, maintain the web-site.   The AFFA offers divisions: Corporate & Competitive.  We are wanting to add a Church division.  We play 8-on-8 flag football on a regulation size football field.  Rules allow players to open-hand-block, therefore we do allow controlled contact.  Our goal is to strengthen the physical, moral, and competitive fiber of Americans by expanding opportunties for participation in Fall, Spring, & Summer Flag Football throughout our great state.
