Each National Team will represent a single state (ex. Team New York, Team Texas, Team Utah, etc) and compete in flag football’s grandest event – THE SUPER SERIES OF FLAG FOOTBALL!  Some states will be allowed to have 2 to 3 National teams based on the size of the state and/or the flag football activity.    

OBJECTIVES OF THIS EVENT:  

To promote flag football as a true “Professional Sport”

Attract national media exposure annually

Create the highest-level of flag football competition possible

Gain partnership with one of the World’s most popular brands - NIKE  

Footage of the event will be filmed, packaged and presented to sports networks, with the aid of our national partners in an effort to have this, as well as other WC Flag Football events becoming part of their regular programming annually.

One of the biggest challenges any new sports league seeking national exposure faces is how to get on television?  With the expansion of sporting networks through cable and the increasing demand for new quality sporting events, stations such as Spike TV and The Versus Channel that each reach some 75 million plus homes, provides the platform necessary to successfully promote competitive flag football.

If we want the sport that we enjoy playing to be sponsored the way AVP Volleyball Tour is sponsored, the way the National Paintball Association is sponsored and the hundreds of other amateur sports before us; then we have to take it upon ourselves to provide a product that is “worth” sponsoring.

PARTICIPATING TEAMS:

Your team should be comprised of former professional athletes (NFL, Arena I, Arena II and other sports), Indoor Football Leagues, former college athletes (Division I, II and III), Semi-Pro football players, along with the best local flag football talent to build the best team possible to represent your state.   Big names and/or athletes that have experienced a higher level of competition than most attract larger television audiences; which is why the importance of each Head Coach is to build their team for show, just as much as for competition.  

Each Head Coach is completely responsible for his/her team and should select the best, most dedicated individuals possible to compete on the National Team and represent their state.  75% of all players on the roster MUST be a resident of the state in which they represent.    

GAMES AND VENUES:

Games will be played in local Las Vegas, Nevada Stadiums, with adequate seating, scoreboards, clocks, PA announcing and concessions.
