Youth flag football is a fun and exciting way for kids to learn and play the game of football without the heavy contact of traditional tackle football. It's perfect for boys and girls who are looking to get active, make new friends, and develop their football skills in a safe and supportive environment.

​

Key Features of Youth Flag Football:

• Non-Contact Play: Instead of tackling, players wear flags attached to their waists. To stop a play, defenders simply pull the flag from the ball carrier. This keeps the game safe and enjoyable for everyone.

• Team Size and Field: Games are played with smaller teams, usually 5 to 7 players on each side, on a smaller field that is 80 yards long. This makes it easier for young players to get involved in the action.

• Inclusive and Coed: Our league is coed, meaning boys and girls play together. This promotes teamwork and inclusivity, making sure everyone has a chance to participate and have fun.

• Skill Development: Youth flag football focuses on teaching basic football skills like passing, catching, running with the ball, and defensive strategies. It's a great way to learn the game and improve athletic abilities.

• Simplified Rules: The rules are easy to understand, making it simple for kids to pick up the game quickly. This includes basic rules for passing, scoring, and pulling flags.

• Emphasis on Fun and Sportsmanship: The main goal is to have fun! We encourage good sportsmanship, teamwork, and a positive attitude both on and off the field.

​

Benefits of Youth Flag Football:

• Safety: With no tackling, the risk of injuries is much lower, making it a great option for young athletes.

• Physical Activity: Playing flag football is a fantastic way for kids to stay active and healthy.

• Social Skills: Kids learn to work together, communicate, and build friendships with their teammates.

• Confidence Building: As children learn new skills and improve their game, they gain confidence and self-esteem.

• Family Friendly: Games and practices are usually scheduled together, making it easy and convenient for families.
