Huddle to Tackle Hunger’ Initiative for Super Bowl Lv NFL FOUNDATION COMMITS $250,000 TO FEEDING TAMPA BAY AS PART OF ‘HUDDLE TO TACKLE HUNGER’ INITIATIVE FOR SUPER BOWL LV In advance of Super Bowl LV, the NFL Foundation is making a $250,000 donation to Feeding Tampa Bay (FTB) to combat food insecurity in the region, an issue that has been exacerbated by the pandemic. The donation will assist Feeding Tampa Bay in their efforts to support local restaurants that have been significantly affected by COVID-19. In addition, the NFL and Feeding Tampa Bay will launch a volunteer sweepstakes to encourage local residents to sign up to volunteer with FTB to help fight hunger within their community. “Each year we look for meaningful ways to give back to our Super Bowl host city,” said Anna Isaacson, SVP of Social Responsibility, NFL. “The past year has been unlike any other and we want to assist those who have been greatly impacted by the ongoing pandemic. We are hopeful that we will be able to help the restaurant industry and those facing food insecurity in the Tampa Bay area through the ‘Huddle to Tackle Hunger’ and that our efforts will leave a lasting impact on the community long after Super Bowl Sunday.” Many local restaurants continue to suffer a tremendous hardship from the impact of COVID-19. The NFL Foundation’s $250,000 donation will help to provide financial support (through Feeding Tampa Bay) to the dining establishments, and in turn they can continue to generate revenue, employ their workers, and provide meals to those in need. The restaurants selected to participate in ‘Huddle to Tackle Hunger’ were recommended by the NFL’s Super Bowl LV Business Connect program, which works proactively to create opportunities for experienced, diverse, and certified local small business owners to compete for contract opportunities related to NFL signature events such as Super Bowl. The donation will help to expand FTB’s current food distribution program expanding the number of meals available, participating restaurants and delivery timeframes. In conjunction with the donation, the NFL also launched a volunteer-based sweepstakes for the opportunity to attend Super Bowl LV on Feb. 7. The sweepstakes will run through Wednesday, Feb. 3 and is open only to those in the Tampa Bay area. During this timeframe, volunteers can sign up to volunteer with Feeding Tampa Bay, filling a critical need for help to safely continue feeding the community. Volunteer needs range from food packing and sorting to distribution in their Trinity Cafes and remote locations around the Tampa Bay area. During the week leading up to Super Bowl LV, the NFL will host two events with Feeding Tampa Bay.

USA Football believes that an age-appropriate and developmental approach to the game driven by high-quality coaching will improve athlete enjoyment and skill development. By modifying the game at younger age groups and educating coaches, commissioners, officials and parents on the game adjustments, mechanics and skills, we can create an age-appropriate, athlete-centered understanding that leads to a better experience. 3 1 / IMPLEMENTATION AND GAME PHILOSOPHY Like all other forms of youth football, USA Football envisions leagues and clubs adopting the Rookie Tackle game structure and adding this offering to their league pathway. While USA Football will provide the initial game structure and rule book, we are aware it will be governed and implemented at local levels. As such, the number of players on the field may vary from six to eight to meet community needs, registration numbers or individual circumstances.

    ROOKIE TACKLE 7-PLAYER RULE BOOK American Development Model ROOKIE TACKLE 7-PLAYER TACKLE RULES Playing Field 1. The playing field is 40 x 35 1/3 yards, allowing for two fields to be created on a traditional 100-yard field at the same time. 2. The sidelines extend between the insides of the numbers on a traditional football field and should be marked with cones every five yards. Use traditional pylons, if available, to mark the goal line and the back line of the end zone. 3. Additional cones can be placed between the five-yard stripes and in line with the inside of the numbers to further outline the playing surface if desired. 4. All possessions start at the 40-yard line going toward the end zone. a. This leaves a 20-yard buffer zone between the two game fields for game administration and safety purposes. Game officials, league personnel, athletic trainers and designated coaches are allowed in this space. b. The offensive huddle may take place in the Administrative Zone. c. Players not in the game stand on the traditional sidelines with one or more coach(es) to supervise. d. The standard players’ box should be used for sideline players. With the field split in two, this keeps players between the 25- and 40-yard line on each respective field and side. 5. First downs, down markers and the chain gang are administered in accordance with National Federation (NFHS) or local rules – starting from the 40-yard line. Coaches and players not in the game stand here ADMINISTRATIVE END ZONE ZONE END ZONE Coaches and players not in the game stand here 2 7-Player Rules Rookie Tackle uses the NFHS rule book as a base and employs the following adjustments for 7-player football.
