Flag football for kids
Flag football is American football without tackles: instead of bringing an opponent down, children pull the flag from the opponent's belt. That makes the game safe, fast and great fun, and children learn to run, throw, catch and think as a team.
Why flag football
- No contact – for boys and girls from age 5.
- Everyone plays – on a small field every child is part of every play.
- Team spirit – children plan each play together.
- An Olympic sport – flag football will be at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
