Football is second to education, if a player falls behind in school they will not participate in the following game until the issue is resolved.
Play Time Rule:
Each player is required to play on offense or defense each quarter. Half the team will be placed on offense and half the team will be placed on defense. Frequent substitutions are encouraged by the coach especially when the team exceeds a 22 player roster. The goal of SAFL is to offer equal playing time to each player offering more than the Idaho minimum playing time rule of 15 plays.
"It is the goal of SAFL to make every player part of the game and when the game is over each player should be tired"
