Younger Players – Smaller Teams – Fun & Safe.
FLAG FOOTBALL is a FUN and SAFE way to get introduced to the great game of football and kick off your football career!!!
The PLAYERS ages 5 to 7 will be introduced to the football basics in a non-hitting environment. The players focus on learning and developing all the basic fundamental skills need to play the game including: running, passing, catching, scripted-plays, lining up and teamwork.
The TEAMS consist of 8 players on the field (rather than 11 for tackle football) with the coaches coaching on the field shoulder-to-shoulder with the young players.
The FIELD is played on the width of a regular football field 53.3 yards by 30 yards.
The GAME consists of two 25-minute running halves with two first down markers 20 yards apart.
