Let's Play

Flag Football is the sport of American Football without contact, where instead of tackling one another, you instead pull their flag and where creativity and quick-mindedness come into play to get the ball into the end-zone without getting your flag pulled.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

The first rule of High School flag football is pretty straightforward, with no contact allowed. The rest is as follows:

Offensive Rules:

• The Quarterback can run with the ball if they see a better chances of more yards instead of throwing it. 
• Only one forward pass per play is allowed
• The Quarterback has 7 seconds to get the ball out of their hands
• The ball is not playable if it hits the ground - whoever has the ball in their hand gets their flag pulled - if the ball carrier body, other than their feet and hands touches the fields - or if whoever is running with the ball steps out of bounds. 
• If there is an offensive flag penalty there will be a punishment for a loss of yardage and a down.

Defensive Rules:

• The defender cannot pull an offender's flag before the ball is caught otherwise it will be called an interference towards the defender. 
• All defenders must stand behind the line of scrimmage
• Linebackers and Corners can stand as close to the line of scrimmage as possible
• Any interceptions can be returned for a Pick-6
• Any defensive flag penalties will result in an automatic first down
