Description:

Flag football is a fast-growing, inclusive game that helps boys and girls of all ages learn the game, stay active, and develop confidence, teamwork, and sportsmanship. The game prioritizes speed, creativity, and athleticism. Unlike traditional tackle football, flag football is non-contact. Players wear flags attached to their waistbands, and opponents must pull these flags to stop the ball carrier. This makes it a safer option for young athletes while still allowing them to experience the thrill of football. Youth flag football leagues cater to athletes aged 4 to 15 years old. It provides boys and girls of all abilities with a chance to develop fundamental football skills in a positive and inclusive environment. The mission of youth flag football is to empower athletes and instill a lifelong passion for the sport. It emphasizes sportsmanship, teamwork, and friendship both on and off the field.
