Flag football is similar to regular American football and follows many of the same rules and strategies. The main objective is to move the ball down the field and cross the end zone to score. In flag football, however, players pull the flags of other participants instead of tackling them. The lack of tackling means flag football is recognized as a no-contact sport.
Since there isn't one central regulating body for flag football, leagues across the nation have varying rules about how many players are on each team, scoring, the size of the field and other factors. At Spooky Nook Sports, our adult teams typically have seven players on each side. Flag football requires less equipment than traditional football — just a ball, cleats and a flag or flag belt.
The Benefits of Playing Flag Football
Flag football has many of the same benefits as standard tackle football without the associated risks of potential injuries. Whether you're in the game for the fun, the competition or both, this sport will help you stay fit and active. Running up and down the field during the game improves your cardio and heart health as well as your overall strength.
When you join a flag football team, you also get the chance to meet new people. You'll hang out with fellow athletes or sports enthusiasts who share your passions. With these connections, you can form lasting friendships and bond with members of your community.
