AFFL GEAR
The holidays are approaching and you probably have no idea what to get your friends, family, significant other, or self. Well, don’t worry I gotchu. Check out our merchandise below.
Personally, I have never worn a T-shirt or hoodie more comfortable. They fit great and feel great! Not to mention, you’ll look great with the AFFL logo across your chest. As a big fan of hats (mostly to cover up my messy hair) you just can’t go wrong with these. We have a selection of game day hats, snap backs, and the one and only dad hat. They’re stylish and fit great! Trust me I know, I’m a doctor.

The Final
Fighting Cancer
This Thursday, July 19, 2018 is the day. Finally, the Amateurs will take on the Pro’s.
We’ve seen Fighting Cancer battle through 7 games to make it to this point. It all started May 5th in Atlanta where they beat Dirty South (38-0) and Dallas Twisted Black (40-12) to move on to New Jersey for the Round of 32. At the NY Jets Training Facility they battled and defeated Pound for Pound (41-14) and Florida’s Finest (32-21), setting up the chance to show America who they were live, and in primetime, on NFL Network. At the Round of 8 in Pittsburgh they defeated the Strong Island Bulldogs (18-6) and moved on to Atlanta where they came out on top yet again versus Primetime (35-14) on July 7th. Just last weekend Fighting Cancer had their toughest matchup yet, The Money Team. As close as it was, they showed America who the much deserved Amateur Champ’s were, winning the game 35-26.
This fine group of men started their journey 2 1/2 months ago with one mission – to bring home the $1,000,000 grand prize. Be sure to tune in and watch the life changing Ultimate Final Thursday July 19th at 8pm EST.

Who created the dip?!
Terrance Bunting VS Corey Webb
As a flag football fan and player I have always been amazed when a player is running full speed and out of nowhere they are ass to grass…somehow evading flag pulls at full speed. Not many people have had the opportunity to witness it, but those who have know that the dip is an evasive and game-changing move.
I decided to interview a couple of players that I have personally seen dip in a game, Terrance Bunting and Corey Webb. Both claim to have created and mastered the move!
Is it difficult?
See the move for yourself!

You don't need EX NFL players to be great
Fighting Cancer is proof!
Not every team that has made it to the round of 12 has many former NFL players on its roster. In fact, there are some outstanding AFFL teams who have very few players that have played above college football.
The Fighting Cancer team, widely known as one of the top 7on-7 flag teams in the country, is one of the favorites to make it to Houston (for the Championship game).
But the interesting fact is that the Fighting Cancer team only has one former NFL player (WR Harry Coleman) on its roster. And only two other players on their roster have played in a professional league (RB Terrance Bunting and WR/DB Robert Myers).

NFL Network to feature former Navy quarterback, Ricky Dobbs, June 30th
When I spoke with first lieutenant Ricky Dobbs he told me about a few goals of his. He wants to play in the NFL and run for president. Just recently he added a new goal... he wants to win the US Open of Football and take home the $1 million prize. Lieutenant Dobbs has walked the walk from his days at Navy, but does he have what it takes to be the Ultimate Champion of the American Flag Football League?! Tune in to NFL Network June 30th at 7:00p.m. ET to watch Ricky and his team, Primetime, battle it out vs. the Dallas Ducks!
