The Rules of Arena Football (Indoor American Football) - EXPLAINED!

[@ckywizard]

I use to play in the Arena Football League and I have to say you did a good job explaining the rules

[@NinhLyUK]

Thanks again Manny!

[@christianmartinez6767]

Manuel Diaz, Jr. was it fun?I wanna make some kind of football league when I’m older.

[@jermisious8737]

What's the pay?

[@96jnb]

Why you lying

[@nytro8027]

How do you join an arena league?

[@nicksharrer942]

I feel that Arena Football is TOTALLY underrated! I love the game! I wish it would become the standard off-NFL season game. Great video as always Ninh!

[@NinhLyUK]

***** Hey Nick, welcome back! I agree with you ... Arena Football is better than what most people give it credit for. It's actually pretty fun to watch and it plays a damn-sight quicker than the NFL. I still believe that the NFL comes up with a development league that plays in summer, but Arena Football is a viable substitute. Thanks for stopping by! :)

[@rockvilleraven]

+Nick Sharrer Where I live we have a minor league variant called indoor football which is essentially the same game without the rebound nets. They just hang a goal post from the ceiling. There's a team called the Maryland Eagles which play at an ice rink covered with turf in Wheaton, MD. The rebound nets were patented by the Arena Football League. Washington will get an expansion team next year, that will play at the Verizon Center and they just hired their head coach. They used to have a team in the early days of the league called the Commandos.

[@JRMoney94]

rockvilleraven Yeah the Washington Valor. They couldve just brought back the old Commandos but im ok with it

[@idk-sb1cz]

It could become a development development league like the nab has the g league

[@EdgarHernandez-uu4iw]

All indoor football leagues should join as one indoor football league and become a new NFL development league. Plus can you do a video on indoor soccer and paintball please.

[@NinhLyUK]

Unfortunately, indoor football has different strategies due to the field size and would not be suitable for an NFL D-League. Besides, the NFL is already developing an outdoor D-League as we speak.

[@EdgarHernandez-uu4iw]

Ohhh I hope fresno has a team because I come from Fresno California

[@NinhLyUK]

I know they've got several cities lined up for it. It's in the early stages.

[@Ryeblue]

Edgar Hernandez indoor leagues and especially AFL won't do it

[@moshpitsandbongrips6998]

the problem with that is just because you're in the AFL doesn't mean you weren't good enough to play in the NFL some people just fit better in the AFL. Making the AFL a developmental league would be a direct insult to the skill of these athletes. Keep in mind they're professional too.

[@spaceer8674]

I love going to arena football games because there is just so much energy and unlike the NFL’s massive stadiums in arena football no matter where you sit you can see every thing and you feel so close to the action

[@NinhLyUK]

Yeah, Arena Football has that advantage. Too bad there's only 5 teams left in the league.

[@bulldogsbob]

As a huge football fan I can watch any form of it and it's a shame that arena is not more popular it's a very fun exititing game and it's very fan friendly. The league though always have terms doling even one that have been around for a while like the Voodoo.

[@NinhLyUK]

+bulldogsbob Agreed. It's a pretty cool version of football and I'm so surprised that it's not taken off the way it probably should?

[@bulldogsbob]

A huge reason is all the terms that have folded even good teams like the sabercats. A cool hung I think you should mention is that is a ball goes out of bounds and a fan catches it the fan gets to keep the ball.

[@DaTwistedOne1]

Not always. Some teams won't let you keep the ball.

[@bulldogsbob]

DaTwistedOne1 All the arena games I went to they did.

[@VibeDoctor98]

It's different so it's cool to see different things done and how it's played

[@Emper0rH0rde]

I like arena football. It's action-packed and high scoring. I'm bummed that the Arena Football League folded, and now I don't have an indoor football team to cheer for, but the Indoor Football League, which I just discovered, streams its games on its KZbin channel, so that's like a treasure chest.

Ninh Ly Yeah hopefully the AFL can bounce back! Good news is some AFL teams have jumped to the IFL, that's a fun league and they stream games on KZbin!

[@NinhLyUK]

I didn't know they streamed on KZbin, that's awesome.

[@thomass7466]

how many leagues are in the US ? cuz Iheard about the AFL, IFL, NAL and is it this so unpopular ?

[@NinhLyUK]

There's a few, yeah. But i don't think it's the fact that there's so many different leagues that's the problem. I dunno why it's unpopular, I think it's a great sport - I'd go and watch it if it was available near me?!

[@Chaser610]

@Ninh Ly you forgot about a ruge or douse it’s where if you kick a kickoff through the uprights it’s worth 2 points

[@hartfoundationhq]

Not a bad rundown. There was one thing that you did get wrong which I am unsure if someone pointed out (based on the AFL rulebook). Of the three lineman, one of the tackles is designated a tight end. It is not a specific location so either of the tackles can designate themselves as the tight end for the play by raising his hand prior to the snap of the ball to signal to the referees that he is the tight end and eligible to catch a pass. In your image, the tight end you referred to is one of the three wide receivers (see my rough outline below). Of the three wide receivers, one is designated a "man in motion" and is the only player on the offensive team that can make a forward or lateral motion behind the line of scrimmage prior to the snap. WR T C TE WR QB WR FB

[@Thederanged1]

I remember going to a Utah Blaze (one of the old teams) game back in 2013. It was awesome.

Great video! Only thing I would change is the detail about the Jack Linebacker. The Jack can move laterally from wall to wall. The 5 yd. limitation is only from the Line of Scrimmage back.

[@NinhLyUK]

AFL Slasher Thanks for the comment on this Arena Football video. Yes, I'm fully aware that the jack linebacker limitation of 5 yards is from the line of scrimmage before the snap, probably should have explained it that way. But you get my drift.

I could be wrong but I don't think I heard anything about touchbacks which in arena football bring the offense out to the 5 yard line.

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes, it's pretty cool to watch. Shame that the AFL business model is crap and there's only 5 teams left in the league. The end is nigh.

[@golfer435]

You did miss one rule about Arena Football. A ball carrier is allowed to use the walls/boards along the sidelines as rebound walls as long as they are not pushed into the wall. If they are pushed into the wall, they are considered to be out of bounds and are down, all other instances of hitting the walls do not constitute being out of bounds. Arena Football is so much fun to watch, though it has fallen off a lot lately. Games are usually very high scoring and because of how fast paced everything is it lends itself well to entertainment.

[@NinhLyUK]

There's lots of rules I didn't explain bro. It's virtually impossible to explain the rule book in less than 6 minutes. Having said that, Arena Football is really fun. Too bad they've (as you correctly pointed out) fallen off a cliff as of late.

[@arthurchannell4426]

One thing about the safety. I'm fairly certain that an offensive player is tackled in their own endzone, the defense gets 2 points (which you addressed) AND the ball (I could be wrong, though, having been wrong before)

[@KohliN7]

[@LeotheTiger1234]

The one rule I didn't know until you mentioned it was the drop kick rule where you score 4 points.

[@NinhLyUK]

They already do, but it's rarely used. The last successful drop kick was Doug Flutie playing for the Patriots (if I'm not mistaken).

+Ninh Ly can u make a video on the schedule in the nfl and how its chosen what teams play what

[@NinhLyUK]

Toontowwn Rewritten Don't think it needs a video to explain. it's fairly easy: Every team plays six games against the other three teams in its division, facing off twice per season - once at home and once on the road. Every team plays one game against each of the four teams from a division in the other conference once per season - two games at home and two on the road. These matchups are also determined by a rotation, which ensures that all teams play every team from every division in the other conference once every four years. Every team plays its remaining two games against teams from the two remaining divisions in its own conference - one game at home and the other on the road. The matchups are determined by where the teams finished in their divisions in the previous season. For example, a team that finished the previous year in third place in its division will play the third-place teams from the two other divisions in its conference

[@alexcentury2166]

The tight end is actually one of the three linemen. When the offense breaks the huddle, one of the linemen will raise his hand which signals that he’s the tight end and therefore an eligible receiver. It’s very rare that a tight end catches a pass in the AFL though.

[@NinhLyUK]

Can anyone explain the Jack linebacker position clearer for me? As of now I believe they must lineup over the TE or FB. When the ball is snapped the Jack is free to move sideline to sideline but can not exceed more than 5 yards backwards from the line of scrimmage. Is this correct?

[@NinhLyUK]

Roughly yes.

[@lazydaze3134]

I'm a hockey guy. I've never liked NFL football. But years ago we had a AFL team here in Hampton Roads the Norfolk Nighthawks. I went to a game years back and loved it. I dunno why they shut down after the 2003 season. Supposedly Norfolk is bidding for another AFL team so maybe it will end up in my town again.

[@NinhLyUK]

The state of the AFL is pretty bad at the moment. Just 5 professional teams left in the league. Ouch.

[@lazydaze3134]

Ninh Ly It's weird because it's more fast paced than NFL rules football. You'd think it would attract NFL fans easy.

[@NinhLyUK]

It's a niche sport for sure. I think the AFL hasn't done a good job marketing or televising the sport. Part of the reason for its rapid decline.

[@steveyg6000]

Ninh you should make a video on indoor cricket

[@NinhLyUK]

+Stevey G Ummm, it's not really a very popular sport. In my other videos, I cover Cricket and explain the difference between the three main kinds, but indoor variety isn't that popular. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

[@stevenerwin6853]

Proper good video

[@NinhLyUK]

Thanks again Steven.

[@bridgethannah2933]

Great job.

[@xr1ven]

Can you make a video about the rules of chess please?

[@NinhLyUK]

FlipsonGameHub Not really my area of expertise, but if I get enough demand for it, I will make one. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

[@64imma]

That would be pretty cool.

[@xr1ven]

Ninh Ly OK Thanks. P.S You haven't made a video in a while so that's why I'm asking. :)

[@NinhLyUK]

FlipsonGameHub Yeah man, I've been busy working my two jobs and renovating two houses. The video making has taken a little bit of a back seat for now, but I'll be back shortly with more stuff like this!

[@bloodykenshiro8218]

Interesting, so it is basically a NFL version of futsal. How popular is this variation outside of the U.S I wonder?

[@NinhLyUK]

Not very. The AFL itself is dying a horrible death.

[@ZahoorAliMehdi]

Nice Sir 💖

[@NinhLyUK]

Thanks Zahoor!

[@buckshotjones9731]

Could you do a college football video ?

[@NinhLyUK]

I've done a video of American Football, which covers College football in general. kzbin.info/www/bejne/epXaoWR-rqp5iKc Hope that helps?

[@icanbelieveitisnotdonebyap941]

It is funny to me that in rugby you score when you "touch" the ball "down" in the end zone and American/Canadian football you "Try" to cross the pain of the endzone

[@NinhLyUK]

Indeed.

[@user-qv4sw6lc3m]

What kind of field do they play on? It looks hard

[@NinhLyUK]

I think it's artificial turf that they just roll over concrete and/or the ice pad underneath. Not very comfortable I can imagine.

[@anthonystrickler9278]

Good vid but left out what touch backs are and what the penaltys are

[@NinhLyUK]

+Anthony Strickler Left out a lot of things man, there's no way that I can explain all the rules in less than 6 minutes. Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

[@nateleech3887]

Thank you!

[@DanTheCaptain]

Can you do these sports? Water Polo Squash Racquetball Futsal Beach Soccer I'd go on but the list is already long and I don't want to overwhelm you.

[@NinhLyUK]

Daniel K I realise that there's a million other sports out there, but none of which I'm dying to do. As I've previously stated: if I get enough demand for any one sport, I'll make them. But I'm reaching the end of the lifespan of this particular playlist. To get more views, I'm going to need a different approach. Thanks again!

[@DanTheCaptain]

Ninh Ly Ok Gotcha :)

[@cryogeneric]

If the ball carrier is in contact with the side wall, is he only "down" if a defender touches him?

[@madc2004]

cryogeneric No if they touch it it's out of bounds no exceptions

[@Glechik897]

Tell me the rules of Russian hockey(Bandy) ?

[@NinhLyUK]

Glechik897 Bandy is on my list of videos to make, but it's going to be a while to get to that video because I have a lot more to make before that. Be sure to share this video and subscribe so that you can see all my videos as they come out! :)

[@josuejafetsantosmatus2714]

Oh, Ninh, When you make the video about the bandy rules? :'(

[@NinhLyUK]

Josue Jafet Santos Matus It's on the list, but like I said to you ... I don't promise to make it anytime soon. There's a lot of videos I need to make first before that one. Thanks for your continuing interest! Help me out by sharing this video :)

[@confederationxscape5536]

Please do more vids man!

[@CODNOOB223]

I miss your videos ninh:(

[@NinhLyUK]

+CODNOOB223 Yeah sorry I've not made one in a while. Been undergoing two house renovations, a change in career and have just been too busy to make videos. Fortunately, I'm starting up again soon, so keep an eye out for my new videos coming up in the next few weeks :)

[@warrenquinn5102]

Does the Arena Football League still exist?

[@NinhLyUK]

As of a couple of weeks ago .. no.

[@maskedmarvel]

Just ended actually after 30 plus years

[@softly128]

You didn't talk about the ball, is it heavier?

[@JohnnyDIII95]

A bit confused when you said the drop kicks for arena. You said a drop kicks is worth 2 points and a drop goal is worth 4. Do you mean if drop kicking on a 2 point conversion(after touchdown/try) is worth 2 points? If you're just drop kicking, let's say 2nd down, and wanting to to drop kick, that would be 4 points?

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes, that's exactly it.

[@JohnnyDIII95]

@@NinhLyUK ohhh okay thank you, thank you! Love your vids btw!!

[@NinhLyUK]

Thanks Johnny!

[@naleboke]

What is the surface of the field? It looks a bit like clay

[@naleboke]

naleboke And what if a kickoff bounces off the rebound board thing? Can the kicking team recover it for a TD? + What are the rules for inbound catches and out of bounds?

[@NinhLyUK]

naleboke The surface is just indoor turf, it's not clay. And when any kick bounces on the rebound nets, it's live and in theory if they're quick enough, the kick-off team can recover the ball for a touchdown. Out of bounds is the same as normal American football and inbound catches count. Hope that helps? Be sure to share this video and subscribe if you haven't already :)

[@naleboke]

Thanks so much for the quick response with other youtubers a reply could of never happend! Also, I see mats instead of empty space on the sidelines, if someone catches the ball in mid-air then lands on the mats, without their feet touching the ground, is the catch complete or incomplete?

[@NinhLyUK]

naleboke So long as the ball is caught legitimately when the receiver is in bounds initially, it doesn't matter if he leaves the area afterwards, this counts as a catch! Thanks for the comments!

[@naleboke]

Cool! Thanks!
