Sprint Football is a non-NCAA sport that adheres to the same rules as regular soccer with the only exception being a maximum weight of 178 pounds (183 pounds with additional measures). Weight restrictions are designed to make the game faster and safer.
Sprint Football developed on the East Coast with teams such as the University of Pennsylvania, Army, and Navy that helped launch the sport in 1934. In its current form, it is organized under the auspices of the nine-member Collegiate Football Association (CSFL), which is made up of teams from the eastern United States. The addition of the separate Midwest Football League, with its bylaws and championships, would mark the sport’s largest one-year expansion in nearly 90 years.
