Eight-man football is a form of gridiron football, generally played by high schools with smaller enrollments or by semi-professional leagues with limited players. Eight-man football differs from the traditional 11-man game with the reduction of three players on each side of the ball and a field width that can be reduced to 40 yards, 13 1/3 yards narrower than the 53 1/3-yard 11-man field.
