our Rules for safe, fun, & fair Play

SMNYFL Regulation Objectives:

  • To teach all participants the proper fundamentals, techniques, and rules of the game of football.

  • To make each participant's first organized football experience fun, enjoyable, and rewarding.

  • To encourage each participant to continue in an organized football program at the next level.

  • To teach and demonstrate the values of sportsmanship and fair play at all times.

All coaches and officials who participate with SMNYFL are required to study and learn the rules specific to our league. Not only will this lead to accomplishing our league objectives, but will also provide a safer environment to learn football.

We encourage player parents to read the rules for the group their player is in.
