NEW FOR 2024:  FFL OFFICIALLY RECOMMENDS 5 STAR RATED HEADGEAR FOR ALL ATHLETES AT ALL FFL EVENTS

LET’S ALL WORK TOGETHER TO PRIORITIZE ATHLETE SAFETY!  Starting January 2024 FFL will be officially recommending that ALL athletes wear headgear that is 5 Star Rated for performance by Virginia Tech.  We have made this decision because each year Flag Football globally is seeing the level of competition increasing amongst teams, along with athletes getting bigger, faster and stronger.   It’s inevitable that in the heat of competition the element of risk for head impacts increases for both 'player to player' and 'player to ground’.  To ensure 5 Star Rated headgear is accessible to all athletes that compete in FFL events we have negotiated with the overall #1 rated soft shell brand, SYZMIK.  SYZMIK is hugely popular with athletes and over the past few years we’ve closely followed SYZMIK’s unmatched commitment to player safety.  
10% OFF SYZMIK HEADGEAR PLUS SPECIAL TEAM PRICING INCL CUSTOMIZATION FOR TEAM ORDERS:  To help athletes and coaches prioritize safety we have negotiated a special 10% OFF SYZMIK Headgear plus TEAM PRICING with customization options.  To get 10% OFF go to https://www.syzmik.online/ and use promo code FFL24 at checkout.  For TEAM PRICING email team@syzmik.onlne .

Hotels: FFL is a Stay to Play. All hotels must be booked via flagfootballlife.com/hotels
