We are your headquarters for co-ed flag football in Madison. We run both spring and fall leagues. Don’t have a team? Individuals can register as a Free Agent, and MSSC will place you on a team. Don't have quite enough players for a team? Teams that are looking for additional players can indicate this by having the Team Captain check the appropriate box on the Registration Form.

Format

• Teams are co-ed and consist of six players on the field (at least two must be female)
• Shirts, equipment, and referees are provided by MSSC. We use Flag-a-Tag belts, widely considered the best flag belts available. Belts contain three flags per player
• Games consist of two 20 minute halves

Rec vs. Competitive

There are two separate divisions: Recreational and Competitve. Teams self-select their division, subject to approval by MSSC. In general, if your team is full of a bunch of good athletes in their mid-20s, you should probably be in the Competitive Division. If your team is here to win and is going to take the games seriously, argue with refs, and talk strategy and design plays all game, you're probably a Competitive team. If you're just here to have fun, drink beer and don't know what a crossing route is, your team probably belongs in the Rec Division. If you're on the fence, we'd prefer you sign up for the Competitive Division, as there are always fewer teams that sign up for that division.

Dates and Location

• The Spring regular season is scheduled to run from Mid-April to late May, followed by the playoffs. There are no games Memorial Day weekend. Season schedule is subject to change, depending on the weather.
• Games are played at Olin Park, centrally located on John Nolen Drive near the Beltline. We will have a new field for 2013 - not the torn up one we used last year.

Prizes and Other Benefits

• Champions t-shirts will be awarded to the league champions
• Cash prizes will be distributed as well based upon the number of teams that register
• All teams receive two free pitchers of beer after every game at our sponsor bar - The Brass Ring, located at 701 E Washington Ave.
• All teams will be invited to attend the Seasonal Postseason Party, at which teams from all of our sports will gather to celebrate the season

A note for males registering as Individuals: We typically are not able to place every male who registers as an Individual, simply because there are always far more males than females who sign up. Individuals will be placed in the order they register if we can accomodate them, so be sure to sign up early for the best chance at being placed on a team (or help us recruit some ladies!)
