NFL Flag is a youth football league designed to teach kids the fundamentals of American football in a safe, fun, and non-contact environment. It is the official flag football program of the NFL, and it is open to boys and girls ages 5 to 17 (5 to 10 during Fall). The league focuses on promoting physical fitness, teamwork, and sportsmanship, while also helping participants develop basic football skills like passing, receiving, running, and defense.
In NFL Flag, instead of tackling, players wear flag belts, and the play is "stopped" when a flag is pulled from the ball carrier's belt. The game emphasizes agility, speed, and strategy rather than physical contact, making it a great introduction to the sport of football. Teams are typically divided by age and skill level, and they play games with modified rules to ensure fair competition and safety.
NFL Flag also offers a fun and supportive environment for kids to enjoy the sport without the risks associated with full-contact football. The league is often organized at local levels across the U.S., and it includes opportunities for national championships, giving young athletes a chance to compete at a higher level. Additionally, the NFL brand adds an element of excitement, with official NFL team logos and gear used throughout the league.
Overall, NFL Flag is a great way for children to learn football, develop teamwork and leadership skills, and have fun in a positive and supportive setting.
