College Flag Football Championship Comes To Escambia County

January 2, 2015

There’s college football being played in Escambia County this weekend — college flag football, that is.

The 2015 National Intramural – Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA) Flag Football Championship will be held at Pensacola’s Ashton Brosnaham Park January 2-4, 2015.  This is the second year of a four-year contract the Pensacola Sports Association and the University of West Florida Recreation Department have to host the event.  It is the only collegiate national tournament.

Currently 79 teams are registered to participate, a 12% increase over last year’s event.  Over 900 students from all over the country will be in Pensacola representing their schools.  Teams qualified for the national championship by winning their regional tournament.  Additionally, there is an “Open” bracket which allows for any team to register and compete.

Admission is free for anyone interested in watching and concessions will be available.  Ashton Brosnaham Park is located at 10370 Ashton Brosnaham Road, off of 10-Mile Road.
