Atom Program: Ages 8-10

Welcome to the Bulldogs Atom Football program!

Our objective at the Atom level is to introduce football to the children in a safe and fun manner. Atom games are usually played Saturday or Sunday afternoons.

The rules and regulations for Atom Football are designed to create a safe and fair playing ground for all players:

1. There are only 10 players/team on the field at a time.
2. Games are to be played on a half field (50-yard line to end zone).
3. Games are controlled scrimmage style as follows: The team starts at the 50-yard line and runs 5 offensive plays, then the opposing team starts at the 50-yard line and runs 5 offensive plays. They switch off six times for a total of 30 offensive plays each.
4. No score or stats are recorded.
5. There are no formal referees. 1 referee from each team, coach recommended.
6. There is no kicking in Atom games.
7. One coach from each team allowed on the field.
