All About Flag

A safe game play focused on the fundamentals of football for boys and girls of all ages and experience levels. Recreational or competitive options vary by league location.

Who is Flag Football for?

In short, anyone! It's great for kids that love football but aren't ready for a more rigorous play scheme, a player looking to learn football basics such as running, passing, positioning, and play calling.

League play varies from Recreational to competitive based on location. Find your local league to determine the level of play in your area.

When does Flag Football play?

Games are once a week and practice may be once or twice per week. Many teams practice the hour before game, though this varies by coach and league.

Depending on location, game schedules may be Friday, Saturday, and/or Sunday. Parents and players can expect to spend 2-3 hours at the field on game day.

Leagues may offer pre-season activities, such as a Fundamentals Clinic or Skills Development Clinic.
