2025 NCYF Modified Tackle Football 3rd/4th Grade

Register here if you have a player in New Canaan who will be in 3rd grade for the fall of 2025 or if you have a player who will be in 4th grade for the fall of 2025 that would like to play Modified Tackle Football (MTF). Modified Flag Football is also known as Modified Tackle Football (MTF).

For those considering tackle football but not quite ready, MTF serves as the perfect bridge between flag and tackle football. 4th graders can choose between MTF or tackle football based on their readiness.

MTF is a 9-player (vs. 11 player), no-tackle version of football played on a smaller field. Players wear full equipment (helmet, shoulder pads, and football pants) but use flag belts—tackles are made by pulling flags, not by physical contact/NO TACKLING.

While there’s no tackling, MTF introduces pads, blocking techniques, ball handling, and other essential football skills in a safe, developmental environment. It helps players prepare for tackle football if they choose to take that step.

We look forward to another fun and safe season of Youth Football in New Canaan. Should you have any questions or would like to discuss your player’s pre-season attendance or financial assistance, please contact [email protected]. This program is for New Canaan residents.
