Welcome to the home of California's premier 7-on-7 LGBTQ+ flag football league. Established in 2004, the SDAFFL is one of the largest flag football leagues of its kind in the United States; with two divisions, nearly 300 players, and home to the seven-time NGFFL national champion San Diego Bolts! Please follow us on social media @SDAFFL, or contact us at info@sdaffl.com if you have any questions about the 2025 season!
The first Player Clinics are this Saturday at NTC Park Liberty Station, at the corner of Farragut and Cushing Road.
Rookie Clinic: 11am-12pm
All first-time players (Open and WTNB) are invited to attend this clinic, which is optional, but is a great chance to get familiar with our rules and other aspects of the league, as well as meeting veteran players before the standard clinic starts at noon!
Player Clinic: 12-1:30pm
This is the clinic that all players (Open and WTNB) must participate in. If you cannot attend this Saturday, you may attend our second Player Clinic on January 25th instead.
Please bring:
• Shorts or pants with no pockets
• Football or soccer cleats (baseball/metal cleats are prohibited)
• Water or a sports drink for hydration
PLEASE be checked-in and ready to go by those times! We ask that you get there a little early to make sure you do so. We encourage everyone to stretch out thoroughly before the group stretch as well, to prevent injury. Please remember that these clinics are NOT TRYOUTS! All registered and paid players who attend at least one of the two Player Clinics will be drafted to a team. If you have any questions, please contact us at info@sdaffl.com!
Mission Statement:
It is the mission of the San Diego American Flag Football League (SDAFFL) to foster the self-respect of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Allied persons and to promote respect and understanding of these persons from the community at large through the positive social and athletic enjoyment of American Flag Football.
Through the flag football league, its events and fundraisers, the SDAFFL hopes to provide an outlet for the general public to interact with and see LGBTQ+ persons outside of the stereotypical settings commonly associated with these persons. In so doing, the SDAFFL intends for its efforts to educate the public about LGBTQ+ persons in order to foster an understanding and tolerance of these persons. The SDAFFL believes that these efforts play a role in eliminating prejudice and discrimination against LGBTQ+ persons.
