Little Bucs Gridiron Football League

Our league is named the “Little Bucs” as a nickname for the Buccaneers, a hybrid of the Pearl River Pirates and Tappan Zee Dutchmen, of Orangetown. We serve Orangetown and surrounding towns such as Nanuet and West Nyack.
We are an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit charity corporation, and all coaches and organizers are volunteers.
We play our games at South Orangetown Little League. There are no "travel" games.
The eligible ages shall be from 5-13 (as of Dec. 31st).
We play a fun, fast paced, NFL Flag style of football, with Zero Contact, 5 on 5, all players eligible for passes.
There is a center that snaps the ball and then becomes an eligible receiver.
There is one pass rusher allowed and there is no time count before rushing, but they must start 7 yards back from the line of scrimmage.
There is NO contact - If there is a fumble, the ball is immediatly ruled dead.
There is NO blocking or obstructing a player from grabbing a flag from the ball carrier.
There is NO swatting at the quarterback; the rusher tries to grab the quarterback’s flag for a sack.

The league is for both boys and girls.
We keep score, but the fundamentals will be stressed rather than wins and losses.
The games are 1 hour, and there is a 40 minute running clock.
Included in the registration fee - a reversible NFL official jersey as well as player insurance (sign up required during the registration process).
All players need to bring are any style rubber soled cleats, a mouthpiece, and preferably shorts or sweatpants with no pockets (so the pockets don’t get grabbed when reaching for a flag).
The players may pick any NFL team jersey (no matter what team they are on) that they like during registration
The jersey is reversible, so if you are home, the dark side is on the outside, if away, the light side…
The coaches shall be supported by local school district staffs, and shall be volunteers consisting of parents, current/former players, and others in the community that wish to do so.
All coaches and referees shall be required to complete background checks as applicable (over 18).
The safety of your children is of our utmost concern.
