Sprint football

Navy sprint football team, Fall 1963.

Sprint football is a varsity sport played by United States colleges and universities, under standard American football rules.[1] Since the 2022 season, the sport has been governed by the Collegiate Sprint Football League and the Midwest Sprint Football League.

In sprint football, players must weigh less than 178 lb (81 kg) and have a minimum of 5% body fat to be eligible to play.[citation needed] The end result of these weight restrictions is an emphasis on speed and agility rather than on size and strength.[2]
