NFL Rule Changes for 2008-09

August 11, 2008ers

To:  SSFL Owners, Coaches, Players & Offficials Association Members- The significaant NFL Rule  

        Changes for this season are noted below.  As practices are beginning, it is important that all

        team personnel are familiar with the new playing rules.  It is recommended that the rules be

        placed on team web sites and reviewed at practices.

John Walters

Supervisor, SSFL Officials Association

  • The "force-out" rule on catches made near the sidelines has been eliminated. A receiver now must come down with the ball and both feet in bounds for a pass to be ruled complete; previously, passes would be ruled complete if the receiver was pushed by a defender while in the air and the official judged that he would have come down in bounds had he not been pushed. However, if a receiver is wrapped up in mid-air by a defender and carried out of bounds before both feet touch the ground, the official can still rule the play a completion.
  • The 5-yard incidental grabbing of the face mask penalty has been eliminated; incidental contact will not result in a penalty, though intentional grabbing of the face mask will remain a 15-yard personal foul.
  • Teams that win the opening coin toss now have the option to defer the decision until the start of the second half, the same as in college football. 
  • Legal forward hand offs that touch the ground and attempted snaps when the ball hits the ground before the quarterback touches it are now considered fumbles; previously, forward hand offs were treated as incomplete passes, while a snap that hit the ground before the quarterback touched it was a 5-yard illegal procedure penalty.

Head Coach, Denny Randolph

sentinels08

In addition to the SSFL season, the Sentinels will play a game on March 21 against a team in the National Public Safety League as a non SSFL league game.

SSFL "Partners" with ESPN Radio, 1470 WHBO &

the "Sports Explosion Show"

For Immediate Release

June 6, 2008

Hosts Vince Noble, Jeremy Miller and the "Sports Explosion Show" Team

Heard WEEKLY all year from noon to 1 PM

 Story Line: 

       Vince Noble, host for the Sports Explosion Show stated, "It will be great

 to partner with your league. The show will feature interviews with sports 

 personalities and will include interviews with SSFL owners,  coaches, players, 

 administrators and Hall of Fame members.

       Said Commissioner Rice, "In addition to live interviews with SSFL personel, we

 are looking into opportunities for game night  remote broadcasts as well as team

 advertising.  This is not an SSFL Show, rather, we are participants in a diverse

 sports program with a diverse listening audience. In considering radio partnership,   

 our goal is to attract new fans.  Many sports fans have never heard of minor league  

 football and our particiation hopefully may entice listeners to attend a game in their

 area. 

       An Internet broadcast attracts league players and team fans, but in our evaluation

 will not be the main focus to obtaining new fans to fill seats. A live broadcast to

 potentially new fans is for us the way to accomplish this goal.

      We look  forward to working with Vince, Jeremy and the professional and

 experienced  Sports  Explosion team".

     Tune in to the SPORTS EXPLOSION SHOW - A must for all sports fans!

First SSFL Player to Play on a Championship Professional Team - Derek Scott

Quality Stadiums - A Feature of the SSFL

The Citrus Bowl & the SSFL Since 2004

     The relationship between the Citrus Bowl and the SSFL began in 2004.  Team owners adopted the concept that the championship game be the leagues premier event of the year.  Providing the opportunity for players and coaches to experience participating in a major stadium with all of the amenities that major college and professional teams experience, was deemed to be a great way to end the season. Many players have indicated that being a part of that experience has been one of the highlights in their Minor League careers. 

     Playing in the Championship, honoring league All Star players, officials, ball boys, coaches and teams, is a great motivator for all to set goals for the next season.  For the ATTENDANCE RECORD BREAKING 2008 game, honoring the first class of SSFL Hall of Fame was an added attraction and provided the opportunity for Hall of Famers to renew old aquintances. They are the "Role Models" for this, and future generations of the SSFL.

     The operational costs for the game are included in team dues as ticket sales in Minor League football would not provide adequate support.  Instead, it was decided that the game may be a good way to provide each league team the opportunity to earn income and increase fan attendance at the same time.  To that goal, in 2008, each team was provided unlimited game tickets which, if sold by the team all funds from the sale reamined with the team.  At $10 per ticket, teams had the opportunity to significantly supplement their income for the year.  Motivated owners not only sold tickets but offered them to sponsors as a thanks for their support or raffled them off at home games.

Standards and Rules  

     SSFL STANDARDS and RULES were developed and approved in 2000 by the Charter Members of the League.

The American Football Association publicized SSFL Standards and Rules and the establishment of the SSFL Officials Associaton to the 65 leagues nationwide and presently many, including the SEFL and the FFA in Florida, have adopted these administrative guidelines.  Bringing the best of the NCAA in combination with the best in the NFL was the goal when the SSFL came into existence.  The SSFL is proud to have contributed to the positive aspects of Minor League Football by providing leagues with a basis to operate.

     Annually, the Standards and Rules are reviewed by the members at the request of the Commissioner and any recommended changes are discussed and voted on by team owners.  A majority vote is required for change and the addition of new rules and standards.     

     Maintaining publicized Standards and Rules guarantees that every team can expect similarities in facilities and game conduct.  However, rules and standards in writing are not the answer, rather, enforcement is the foundation in maintaining a professionally run league.  

     Stated the SSFL League Commissioner, "Quality stadiums meeting SSFL Minimum Standards and Enforcement of Rules, attract quality players and fans.  Safe playing fields, excellent field lights, well lit and secure parking facilities, uniformed security, press box, PA system, play by play announcers, on field microphone for the referee, family oriented music and well equipped snack bars all contribute to the enjoyment of attending SSFL games. SSFL rules provide options, approved by the membershp to address particular facility issues encounterd by present and future league members.  7 on field game officials, one official clock operator and professional coaching staffs insure that conduct on the field is maintained.

Former SSFL Great, Rashod Moulton, Signs with NFL'S Jacksonville Jaguars

Story Line:  Rashod Moulton, former SSFL standout for the St. Petersburg Sharks and member of the SSFL Hall of Fame Class of 2008, recently signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars of the NFL.  Sharks owner and SSFL Hall of Famer, Derrick Pollock, was instrumental in guiding Rashod to Fort Valley State where he played offense, defense and on special teams.  His versatility earned him honors as a concensus All Conference, All American and All Region selection as a defensive back and kick returner.  Rashod signed as a CB being promoted from the Jag's practice squad.

     Rashod was the MVP of the 2002 SSFL Championship Rice Bowl and resides in St. Petersburg.

FAnother SSFL Hall of Famer and QB of the 2008 SSFL Championship Orlando Rage, PJ Jack Turns Pro

PeeJay Jack, Former Orlando Rage & SSFL Hall of Famer

Story Line: May 10, 2008

       Orlando Rage quarterback, PeeJay Jack didn't have long to revel in his post-championship glory after guiding the Rage to their first SSFL Championship on April 26. His phone rang from St. Charles, Missouri, and on the other end was Head Coach Ken Stills. Ironically, of the River City RAGE. It seems that the indoor Rage were looking for a quarterback FAST.

     PeeJay was flown up to St. Charles on Thursday, May 8, to work out with the United Indoor Football League's Rage and found himself playing Saturday, two days after reporting to the club. Three plays into PeeJay's tenure as the River City Rage's quarterback he scored a touchdown scrambling in over the left side of the line.

         PeeJay's departure to the coveted "next level" marks the most recent of well over a dozen former Rage players who have made the step up to the professional ranks starting with kicker, Michael Vaughn in 2002. In addition, the Orlando Rage can boast another dozen or so who have been placed into college programs throughout the United States.

SSFL Official Receives NCAA Position

Dr. Aaron West, SSFL Official Advances to the NCAA

Story Line:  Dr. Aaron West, a premier SSFL Hall of Fame official has been hired as an NCAA official. The SSFL wishes him continued success.  Not one to forget his roots, Dr. West stated, "In all truth, some of my SSFL officiating collegues and I talk about what an opportunity the SSFL is.  By working additional games in the SSFL using seven man mechanics, we gain literally one to two years edge over others who do not work SSFL each season we serve.  I am convinced that I would not have progressed as far as I am right now without the structure the SSFL provides or the opportunity that John Walters (SSFL Superviosr of Officials) has given me."
