I designed Clermont Rules Football for male & female athletes of all ages, degrees of talent, and levels of skill. It is fast & intricate, requiring physical stamina & an ability to execute complex team tactics in an instant to keep up with rapid shifts in position & possession.

To compensate for loss of excitement due to prohibition of contact, Clermont Rules Football combines elements of American football w/those of field sports popular in other countries - American forward pass, kicking skills of rugby and Aussie Rules, and tactics of Gaelic football.
