Teams play 5 on 5 with the offense having 3 downs to advance to midfield for a first down and another 3 downs to reach the end zone to score a touchdown. We took the collisions and tackling out of our game but left all the good stuff like throwing, catching, juke moves, and trick plays. We still think fast feet, great hands, and a strong arm are all key ingredients for a great game on the gridiron. We do not do any tackling or blocking at this level. But you be sure to practice your best touchdown dance routine because it’s flag football time. Our convenient league times provide families options to accommodate multiple children and busy schedules. Football seasons are offered year-round at selected locations.
