This new edition highlights the rule changes in the book, making it easy for you to pick out what’s new or changed. And the pocket size of the book makes it easy to consult at games, whether you’re a coach, instructor, official, player, or fan of flag and touch football.

The 2017 & 2018 NIRSA Flag & Touch Football Rules Book & Officials’ Manual, developed by the NIRSA Flag Football Editorial Board, offers a section on the changes for 2017 and 2018 and explains the following rules:
