Sprint Football?

[Anon1754760634]

Seems like Quincy is offering kids scholarships for Sprint Football? I know it's been a thing for some time now more out East but here? Not so much? What do we need to know about sprint football please?

I'll be honest, never heard of it but looked it up. Reminds me of my college 6' under rec bball league.

Calumet College in Indiana offers it. I think the weight limit is like 180 to play.

178 according to Wikipedia.

Calumet College of St. Joseph was the first to offer sprint a few years ago.
I have a friend who works at CCSJ who pushed for this a few years ago to boost declining enrollment.
It worked, 65 students on the roster this year (plus cheer, dance, poms, etc).

I went and watched a game this past season on the shores of Lake Michigan
Super interesting dynamic on the field.
Felt like all 11 on each team were at the weight limit.
2 different styles: CCSJ Lots of running, with a passes mixed in. Bellermine just the opposite.
Alows for kids to continue playing tackle football competitively, when they would not even be D3.

Maybe they still do, but ND dorms played tackle in a league against each other.
