Non-Contact flag football is the fastest growing youth sport in Manitoba due in part to its huge popularity in high schools and the fast paced nature of the game. The PIT will be introducing the game in the Winter to see if there is interest in what would be quite the run-and-gun offensive game of football.
Unlike outdoor there will be no blocking. The offensive team takes possession of the ball at its 5-yard line and has three (3) plays to cross midfield. Once a team crosses midfield it has three plays to score a touchdown. If the offense fails to score, the ball changes possession and the new offensive team take over on its 5-yard line. Running plays are allowed and encouraged. Grabbing a flag is much more difficult than touching a player and as such running plays become more integral to the offensive philosophy of flag football.

Many PIT players have some previous experience with the game...in fact some of players on the Snipers recently won the U-18 National 5 on 5 Championship. Here is a link to view the championship game: http://ssncanada.ca/media/20120730_fb_u18_gold.html
