what is flag football?
Flag football is a fast-paced, non-contact variation of traditional American football, designed to be safer while maintaining the excitement and strategy of the original game. Unlike tackle football, where physical tackles are used to stop the play, flag football replaces this with the act of pulling a flag attached to a player’s waist. This small adjustment not only reduces the risk of injury but also makes the game more accessible to a wider range of participants, including children and adults of varying skill levels.
What is NFL FLAG?
NFL FLAG is the official youth flag football league of the National Football League (NFL), offering boys and girls across the U.S. and internationally the opportunity to play the game of football in a fun, non-contact environment. Established to promote football at a grassroots level, NFL FLAG encourages kids ages 5-17 to engage in physical activity while learning the fundamental skills of football without the physical risks associated with tackle football.
