NFL Flag Football
Flag football is one of the fastest growing youth sports, currently on its way to becoming a college sanctioned sport. Flag football is a game that comes with many physical and emotional benefits. Players run, jump, quickly change direction, and stop and start, which improves cardiovascular health. Practice drills, complex running routes, and defensive techniques all encourage speed, strength, and stamina. Flag football teaches young people accountability, leadership, and the impact of positive sportsmanship. Every position has a purpose and to execute a play successfully, each individual needs to fulfill their responsibility while working together—a skill that’s valuable both on and off the field.
