Field

1. The field dimensions are 30 yards by 70 yards with two 7-yard end zones and a midfield line to-gain. The No-Run Zone precedes each line-to-gain by 5 yards. However, field size may vary based on field availability. Stepping on the boundary line is considered out of bounds.

2. No-Run Zones are in place to prevent teams from conducting power run plays. While in the No-Run Zone (a 5 yard imaginary zone before midfield and before the end zone), teams cannot run the ball. All plays must be pass plays. The only time a run can be performed from this point is if the quarterback is rushed. The quarterback cannot directly run with the ball until the defense crosses the rush line. At that point, the quarterback may scramble, or may advance the ball beyond the line of scrimmage. The quarterback is the offensive player that receives the snap.... IF the defense decides to rush in a no run zone or a pass only situation the quarterback is allowed to run the ball. No handoffs or pitches in the “No Run Zones”.

3. Each offensive team approaches only TWO No-Run Zones in each drive (one zone 5 yards from midfield to gain the first down, and one zone 5 yards from the goal line to score a TD).
