    California CIF girls flag football

    StatHawk has a CIF rule set built in

    Choose 7v7 Girls High School, then the CIF rule set. StatHawk scores your games on the 80-yard field, with first downs at the 20s and midfield and drives that start at the 14. After a touchdown you go for 1 from the 3 or 2 from the 10, and a tied game goes to this year’s CIF overtime: a series from the 10, then single tries from the 3.

    Exporting the MaxPreps file from StatHawk

    Send player stats to MaxPreps

    Five sections, from Los Angeles City to the North Coast, ask coaches to post scores on MaxPreps, and the Southern Section uses CIFSSHome. After an eligible final, export a MaxPreps-ready player stat file and import it in MaxPreps Team Admin.

    Questions from California coaches

    No. The CIF says flag football has no regional or state championship, so a section final is the last game of the season. Five sections hold their finals on Saturday, Nov 7, and San Francisco plays its final on Thanksgiving morning at Kezar Stadium.
